Why I like saidit. It doesn't have downvotes, and that is pro free-speech. When you have downvotes that discourages people from speaking up. We don't need downvotes. If someone says something dumb here, then it just won't rise up, and that's enough. There doesn't need to be double punishment.

The voting system on reddit creates an echo chamber, I like not having it.

I think censorship creates more of an echo chamber, but the voting creates an echo chamber within the echo chamber. It's basically a system where only approved speech can be uttered, while the most unpopular of approved speech gets downvoted. It's a method to keep pushing the conversation to a more narrow window.
