    I agree. People will farm upvotes so I’m fine not having that, but having downvotes visible is an absolute must. It keeps racists, trolls, conspiracy nuts, misinformation, transphobes, and generally most hateful content out of view of those it would affect

    If we look at how YouTube comments are where the likes and dislikes mean nothing, it’s filled with the most hateful shit that’s still within guidelines

      You forgot about the baby eaters in your list of people you dislike.

        do you disagree that the people in my list are inherently bad or something? the people I listed are harmful to everyone. not just “people I dislike”

          I find it funny you had a list instead of just saying harmful people. It was a joke.
