Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.

    Maybe it could be kept track of, and past some threshold downvotes could be disabled for like, idk, a week? Something like that could allow for experimenting and ease folks into it.

      A week gives plenty of time to liberals to bregade posts though. Getting rid of them once and for all is the best course of action.

      Is it possible to disabled downvotes per-community? A mix of gradual rollouts, trial runs, and/or community feedback posts would probably work well. How you all do demcent is up to you of course, but this has worked well for Hexbear.
