I wasn't sure about removing downvotes at first, but the site has gotten a LOT better since they were removed. There is so much less toxicity in the comment section. You can still disagree, but you have to put it out there instead of being a :LIB:
The benefit too is folks can post really bad bit posts and they still get upvoted so everyone gets to see them. It's brought back some weird parts of the old sub where you have serious leftist conversations surrounded by just the absolute weirdest meme shit ever, while also knowing that meme shit isn't going to be hateful or exclusionary or anything.
