Hi All. Today is my 9 year cakeday on Reddit, but I was banned from R/conspiracy for posting info on BLM, so I'll be posting here from now on.

Welcome. Fuck that place. It's one giant struggle session now.

This place has been pretty good so far. Comfy. I do kind of wish they had a downvote arrow, but other than that it's solid.

This place works because of no downvote arrow - it's why it isn't an echo chamber yet.

I disagree. A downvote button is used by the vast majority of people as a "dislike" button - one which gives users the opportunity to bury people, words, or ideas they don't like. I think that the lack of a downvote button is great.

I think the idea is that start up bad ideas and fucking dumb shit ideology is just not going to get voted. There is always a third option: don’t give them shit.

Downvotes are good because it discourages post and comments that are racist,sexist,homophobic ect.

Never stopped me and I said Nigger over 1600 times on my lastest reddit account. 6 months something like 22 k Karma mostly from the artists at political compassmemes

I'm struggling with no downvote button. However, I'm here for a positive change from reddit's obscene collapse as a fair and open platform. So I'm willing to try. Let's see how it rolls

Downvotes are primarily used when people disagree. Not for their purpose.

Feels weird being able to comment on a post and not getting instantly attacked. I'm liking it here. Fuck that place.

Unfortunately I think more of our hangouts will turn into a modern version. Facebook is even worse.

[–]King_Brutus 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I love that there's no downvote button, it makes people disagree with their words!

Good point. And also the negativity isn't recorded. Like you can't sort by controversial etc. It does change the discord.
