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.

    I think both upvotes and downvotes should be removed. I do not like the idea of there being “scores” for posts. It makes posting feel needlessly competitive.

      The good thing about upvoting is it makes the best content go to the top. I say get rid of downvotes entirely and hide upvotes. So they still function but don’t display a score

        I strongly agree with this. A problem might be the way sorting works, a comment at the top would have the implicit perception of a higher score, even with hidden scores.
