Down vote: discouraging others from sharing their thoughts until everyone agrees with me.
Block: creating your own echo chamber so you don't have see other points of view.
Idk. Voats up down spam and block buttons work if it goes to the mods of the subs. And the mods are awake.
But sending it all to the owner just makes more work for the owner. For no good reason. Let the governor run the state as they see fit. With the president having over ride power if need be.
Snowflakes think “free speech” means every one of their dipshit ideas deserves to be heard as much as anyone else’s good ones, not just spoken or written, but heard.
The downvote being effectively neutered as a bitch slap button to let them know when their hot takes are received as ice cold means their fee-fees are protected and they don’t need to step up their game just to be acknowledged.
It isn’t worth the time or energy to argue with them as it “validates” them by engaging. Never wrestle with pigs; you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
Why does no one take my solution seriously??
Have a poll button to the right.. agree/neutral/dislike
This way or dislike? That way you can see how the community feels op and see if his post is good or bad and then before looking inside you can just float over the poll and see if you want to read more or not.. but there is no down vote
So like a review of the post. That seems tedious though.
Maybe a level bar under the votes with the color changing. Or even just black and white. Start as grey and get lighter the more positive the votes are and blacker the more negative?
