i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    Comments weren’t originally hidden due to downvotes on Reddit either… That’s a relatively recent change and it sucks.

    I don’t really take issue with downvotes being used as a disagree button as a general rule but I can also see room to improve the system someho, too.

      As long as they never add any “punishment” for being downvotes then I guess it doesn’t matter. On Reddit downvotes we’re used to reinforce the echo chamber and to essentially silence differing opinions.
