The logic is simple and easy to follow. Downvotes result in account restrictions which prevent you from commenting and posting. This is censorship. It's literally the definition of censorship. Unpopular opinions result in censorship. To make matters worse, people were using downvotes as a disagree button regardless of the validity or accuracy of the information presented. It was a shitty system that I campaigned against for years on Voat, however I was unfortunately unable to convince the Jewish shill overlords to change the system lol. Glad to see that this place took my advice and did it right the first time.
