What’s the virtue of everyone taking part in a conversation even when they have nothing substantive to add?
Comment on How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts?

Do away with voting altogether and force people to think for themselves instead of just following the herd.

Who said you have to participate? Not interested? Move on.

Who said they weren’t interested? Your entire premise is based on them being interested.
So again, what’s the virtue and everybody having to comment even if they don’t have some substantive to say?

I don’t even know how you came to this conclusion. If you’re not interested in the discussion, and you’re not going to participate in it, why should you get to influence how others may see the content by voting on it and affecting its visibility? That’s the premise.

This is just in fundamental contradiction to how the Forumverse works. No content regarded as highly relevant and interesting can be filtered via your system and sorting by /new/ on a wider scale just means that a new post you make can be completely missed if no-one notices it.
