I like poal and the no downvote button but I could see It leading to people just blocking people aka their own little censorship kingdom. That is fine but there where goats on voat that I really disagreed with but every now and then they would post something really profound or insightful so I was glad I didn't block them?

Is that what happens here or am I missing something

There are upsides and downsides to this downvote thing. The upside was that spammers could be downvoted to obvlivion,the downside was just what you mentioned,the echo chamber. That is pretty much what reddit is. If I like your opinion,regardless if you are logically or factually right in a debate, you will get an upvote, if I dislike it, you will get a downvote, if enough people think like me, your opinion even if it's factually right, will not matter and the debate will derail to a circle-jerk.

My solution was to have a poll button next to every post... like/neutral/dislike you only see the results if you hover over it. So this way u can see real quick if op is an idiot in general or if a real debate is going on. It wouldn't affect things being upvoted.

Also poal and poll come on man... as pedo commie Joe would say. It makes to much sense
