This is funny because it seems to be a more appropriate image to invoke for Hexbear users as we are the ones more notorious for "dogpiling" or "brigading" which is ironically a function of the fact that we disabled downvotes because of reactionaries using them to astroturf posts and harass trans people without actually speaking out and outing themselves.
So for years the site culture is one of disagreement yielding a flood of dissent instead of just a "silent" downvote.
TL;DR if you want to force your community to up their posting game, disable downvotes.
tfw no anarchist ghost smh. I didn't know the afterlife was so authoritarian, damn tankies.

Best decision made on the site to date.
Anarchists do not recognise the authority of death, so there are no anarchist ghosts.
All reapers are bastards.
No gods no masters no spooky ghosties

I am 100% on board with Anarcho-Necromancy
