Isn’t that hypocritical, irrational, and one sided? You want praise to be shown in upvotes while people who disagree/downvote are hidden. That’s an echo chamber and thought policing. Yet you tout “Equality” You hate people being silenced but that’s exactly that new forums are discreetly designed to do.
Imagine a review site for restaurants that only permitted upvoting with no downvoting. It would give distorted view how many people actually like it compared to those who don’t. Yes you can spend hours reading all the comments but the point of a legitimate review metric is to gauge both negative/positive feedback.
I wanted to post this in the original thread and it was locked instantly. Because people couldn’t downvote and people started to refute it. Where did the other posts go?
