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.

Being hidden after so many downvotes was pretty annoying honestly, but there were additional consequences on reddit. Being banned on certain subreddits that required a certain karma level, and possibly shadowbanned at all. Also, it killed your ability to respond by limiting you when you get bombarded. I hate that kind of dogpiling BS! And the smug people who do it think you're the sensitive one when you bring up how it goes against so called "reddiquette". If it were just a simple agree/disagree, I'd probably wear the downvotes like a badge of honor in some places.
