Love posting something like a tip for making running an old game easier on Reddit and the only engagement I get being some twats downvoting the post for no reason :angery:

The idea of giving posts a thumbs up or a thumbs down elevating the quality of discussions is such a :so-true: brained concept anyway

    There shouldn't be any upvotes either. I wish someone somewhere had invented a way of voting that does not actually make a difference.

        Shit, you're right, we need to keep the upvote button.

        Still, maybe add a sidevote button that just makes it so that you voted without changing the score or anything?

      They did. It's called Liberal Democracy.

      !chans tried that, but that just lead to repetitive reposting of "elf slave what do" and generic bigotry, or in the attempt to stifle that with anti-repost botting in /r9k/, to a strange incel nightmare world for some unknown reason.

        I do not understand what you just said and I suspect that it healthy. When I talked about the ability to vote without changing anything I was actually thinking more about real elections than about internet forums. Still, what did the elf slave do in the end?

      When I wish to upvote someone on here I privately message them "good post" and then I link the post below that I'm praising.
