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.

    How is voting to be done? Hopefully not upvotes/downvotes in this post because they are not lemmygrad only.

    Could we restrict down votes to lemmygrad comrades, so we could set strong signals incorrectness?

    I strongly disagree removing downvotes. Maybe remove federated downvotes. But we still should be able to signal accordingly that someone is wrong without strongly engaging with them.

    Removing downvotes feels like a safe playground, fit for liberals. I’d prefer candid discussion and dunking, as lemmygrad comrades have shown over and over that we’re able to.
