      This is why disabling downvotes is good. Make those cowards show themselves.

      Racists who know enough not to talk openly shouldn't be able to passively influence discussion either.

        I was somewhat against removing downvotes when we initially did that, but wow was I wrong. Terrible reddit-tier feature that needs to be trashed.

          Don't worry! Downvotes are only for flagging content that doesn't belong here. It will never be used as an "I disagree" button.

          This is also why we at Reddit don't have a report button, because the free marketplace of ideas will naturally sort out posts and comments that are appropriate. Wait, I'm receiving a new update, you DO HAVE A BUTTON TO REPO—

        Honestly I've begun coming around to the idea specifically bc cracker liberals downvoting like punkasses instead of standing on their square and speaking what they believe with the whole chest

        One of the places Lemmygrad should take a leaf from y'all's book
