It's more about enforcing civility through extreme transparency; I get it. It's a good feature to have, and enables anyone who's bored to sniff out brigadiers and bad actors, instead of relying on any one person to make a judgement call. I'm all for more transparency, wherever it fits. Hell, if I ever run a business with lots of employees: there'll be cameras/mics everywhere (where legal), and anyone who works for me will have access to snoop through them at will. I'm sure it's what nanny states tell themselves all the time, when setting up their dystopian nightmares. For me, it'd be more about covering my own ass— can't get sexual misconduct allegations if there's nowhere for you to lie about where it happened.
So then why not make the upvoats transparent?
Yeah, I wasn't commenting on that part. I meant as to why anyone would care about downvoats and upvoats, in general, is all. Maybe they don't think it's as important. Who knows.
