That's neat that negative points doesn't hide things.

Does this mean we have a "big meanie" rule like voat? I think that's a little unfair to the extremely negative.

It's a design choice.

We believe that downvote is not a disagree button. We prefer to engage in discussion and bring a counter-argument to opposing views.

Yeah but say I use the downvote button appropriately but never upvote.

That system is designed to avoid abuse. Mass downvoted comments tend to be seen as negative by people even if they contain a legit point.
