Implying I said that wasn't the case. It absolutely is with you voat fags here.
Oh look someone agreed with me and not you. Any minute now someone will be along to lament the terrible community-ruining abuse of the upvote button there.
lol. You must be one of those sbbh pedos who like to brigade because you don't like differing opinions. I can't think of another reason you refuse to even consider the meaning behind the downvote culture on Poal. It actually does make sense though.
I just don't agree that there's value in obfuscating how much a community hates something someone says. It doesn't mean I'm going to agree with those people all the time but if 24 people upvote something and 350 people would have downvoted it, that's information I'd like to know and I don't think there's a lot of value to be gained from not showing how stupid most people think someone is. Yeah I get that you have your own perspective on it.
The problem with major social media platforms is when they start knowing what's best for the community. Using the lightest touch possible, rather than leaving them to themselves to decide what they like and don't, while not without faults and far from perfect, always works out better than the alternatives every time. That's why there's BS metrics people talk about like "getting ratioed" on twitter since you have to rely on other vague indicators to know someone is disliked.
Everyone is always free to make their case. It doesn't mean everyone will like what they have to say. But hey, at least we can promise they won't be visibly disliked too much.
I don't know what sbbh is but am I supposed to go "no, YOU'RE the pedo!" in response now or what?
