“Dislikes are bad, they don’t contribute the the conversation at all. You should always have to express why you dislike something.”
Meanwhile…we can like posts still. I’m for either we have EVERYTHING or NOTHING. Dislikes were a quick and easy way to show your disdain for a topic. Not all topics are created equal, it’s really easy to see that there’s quite a few topics that aren’t quite bannable but are stupid as hell (Insert about half of your “Nerf X hero” threads here.)
I think removing downvotes was a mistake. Now people will have echochambers about them…because they have a harder time seeing their opposition.
