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.

Don't tell me the funny button isn't a sort-of downvote as well (depending on context). If I see a serious post with 2/3 funny votes I see that as the post being downvoted.

It's not a downvote. Clicking funny still upvotes the comment in the discussion.

Jeez you reddit users really hate having your "I hate you" button removed, eh?

Maybe, but it still gives.... ahem, "karma" of sorts to the poster. Both buttons are truly about giving points.
