Voat had this same ideal regarding down votes about 5 years ago when I joined. Until the popularity rose and the shills and brigades came. Without adapting to this, voat would have just been overrun.

You may see once this site starts to attract the wrong attention. It is a noble ideal, but some people don't allow for that kind of peace. Hopefully the suspicious behavior tag helps, as that type can't help but to downvote.

But. 2 years later I informed a new wave of the rule, and found out it had been destroyed.

Bottom line. Voat already did this. Know that history before belittling.

You aren't dealing with people who use a downvote button differently, you are dealing with people who have already fought that battle and had no choice but to adapt.

Voat was forced to adapt or die, so please step down off of that high horse. You can explain without looking down your nose so sharply.

Hopefully it goes better here, as I fully agree with the sentiment, but I also have met those who choose to make it nearly impossible.

I am not advocating against it not being a disagree button, I agree with that. I just want to explain that many from voat have already traveled that road.

Without voting, nothing moves around. I don't understand this crowd. The two days leading up before Christmas there was post on the front page that were two days old. Nobody had voted on in hours. If you're not going to downvote. At least upvote shit, so new stuff can surface to the top.

Because it was using an older algorithm, updated since.

LOL again with your retarded excuses.

It's holiday season and you still expect everyone to stay online instead of having a good time with their family...

>LOL again with your retarded excuses.

I'm not going to engage with you anymore.I have figured you out. Mommy and daddy didn't show you enough attention. When you was little. So now you are an attention-seeking whore. Even if it's negative attention. Attention is attention. The people coming over here from voat are mostly like-minded, Right-wing. Your mind is so clouded with tribalism, over something as trivial as a website. You can't see that

I will not engage with you anymore. You are a waste of time.

voat are mostly like-minded, Right-wing.

Being on the right means you don't follow crowds, so that sentence makes no sense.

I'll do what I want, you do what you want, does what he wants. If you don't like that then you're a shapeshifting commie.

If you were "like-minded" you would have been here before the move was forced upon you. Please stop trying to turn this space into the shitholistan you left.

Also don't upvote everything, just the cream of the crop. It serves little purpose to upvote all the things that show up at the top.

I've been trying to upvote to give the goats a chance to 'level up', comments only, tho. In an effort to move things along. But- come off as an ass, no upvote. Add to this I'm phone fagging, only, with my big hands and I can't zoom in. (Tap, tap, tap, ugh.) I don't think I've downvoted anything yet, because site culture, and the schizophrenic neon tags help identify potential spammers. Do you think site culture will hold out with the influx of goats?

Don't do that shit either, let it happen organically. If they can't string together thoughts cohesively enough for other people to like/agree, then fuck em.

If you upvote just to "give people a chance" then they might as well just set up upvote farms, or do away with the upvote rules altogether.
