Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit
bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months agoIt’s totally worth debating it because we could simply not have downvotes or at least hide vote scores. That changes people’s behavior demonstrably.

I disagree. Have I ruined your mood now or do I have to actually downvote you for it to work?

I can see we’re well past the point of productivity then. Have a good weekend.

I mean it was mostly a joke but it’s also semi serious. You seem capable of disagreement without it bothering you much so I don’t get why the number next to a comment is different. Yeah some people use it in a dumb way but that’s true of pretty much everything.

Believe it or not I actually want to create forums/communities where the cream does rise to the top and everyone feels safe/welcome at all times, so I have a lot of opinions on how they should be run. Voting systems (or lack there of!) are critical for how things operate and meaningfully impact everyone’s experience, so it matters to me.
And at the end of the day, why shouldn’t I care?
