So explain the light bulb and face over on the left of our user names, is it like up/down votes?.

Consider the lightbulb an upvote. Smiley would either be legit humor or people laughing at you. If you get no upvotes at all consider it a bigfat community downvote.

The absence of a downvote button makes it harder for the site to be 'attacked' by a storm of bots downvoting all the wrong think.

You may often find the general absence of group approval here, as this is not a herd of nod-along, follow-the-leader sheep. It becomes refreshing once you get past comparing it to reddit

Downvote has been removed and replaced with "funny" upvote. Light bulb is "insightful" upvote.

There's no downvoting. That led to brigading and censoring of opinions. Thus, there are only two kinds of upvotes.

You can sort a thread or the whole site to see what's funny today. It's pretty spiffy when you get used to it.

I just posted a beer video over on https://saidit.net/s/history/ - feel free to rip it off and repost on the beer subsaidit!

The beer brewing barbarians sounds about right, my dad once said Bier Brot Bratwurst macht ein gutes Abendessen. Basically beer bread bratwurst is a good dinner.
