my fav bit is when they bitch about content staying on the top because a few people like it. Forgetting that the 'no downvotes' mechanism is there precisely to stop the downvote brigading used in r-ddit to stifle diversity of thought and enforce the hive mind.

One problem with the waves of r-ddit refugees is that each wave contains a higher proportion of fascist fucks that were happy to see the previous wave of dissidents be eliminated. As time goes by those waves are going to be 'brace yourselves, lads' months of entitled bitching and screaming and passive aggressive / straight up entitled posts on how to change saidit for the better.

Keep doing you.

I would like to see a third downvote - but I would not like to see it affect the ranking (as on YouTube). I would just like to know what people appreciated as fun and was insightful and didn't like.

I agree. Downvotes should not change whether or not my post/comment gets seen. However, I would like for them to exist because I can never tell if someone disagrees with me, or finds me funny.

Exactly!

We can't know whether the silence indicates disliking or being overlooked. And there are no viewed numbers to compare it to.
