Just so you know, I used to be an Admin/Overmod of this website. I was part of the initial vanguard that fought the bots. Downvotes were actually ruining the site. You couldn't use hot or most upvoted to organize because of wrecker bots downvoting all the good stuff while up voting terrible things.
Now if you really dislike something instead of passively downvoting things now you have to communicate. This is bad for wreckers, CHUDs and Fascist cause it means the community can clean out the scum we don't want here, especially if they are the usual kind who aren't here to listen.
Gotta educate these youngsters on the history of this site lol.
Can you imagine a site removing downvoting?

This isn't remotely the same situation, our votes are already anonymous.
Downvotes were removed to force disagreement to be expressed socially, not to make it so fascists could "like without worrying who might see it."
