You can’t downvote me even if you wanted to! MY MASTER PLAN IS FINALLY COMPLETE!

Now I will have the most downvoted post in the history of this site FOREVER!

MUAHAHAHAHAHA

    This sucks. People with bad takes will get more visibility if they post more.

          That's a fair point, but also haven't the mods been pretty great about instantly shredding chud shit during raids?

              But we don't report stuff with downvotes though, I don't see the problem.

              Also, I'm 99% sure this is a trial period of a week to see how we all feel about downvotes being gone so don't get too worried

                  The entire structure of Lemmy assumes the ability to downvote, and that’s why comments are ordered the way they are rather than just chronologically

                  It is? could you elaborate? I don't see it

          Counterpoint: stupidpol brigades would previously be able to downvote stuff and now they can't.

        Ya but this could opening the community up agenda pushing. Not everybody is immune to bad ideas. Take Assad apologists for instance.

          Are you trying to say that he must go?

            Ya. Assad is pretty bad. Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party are fascist. The issue is that a lot of people are very impressionable. So when you make Assad shitposts it normalizes him.
