I‘m not a fan of up- and downvotes, also but not only for the aforementioned reasons. Classic forums ran fine without any of it.
I keep thinking about this. The only reason for votes that a forum cant do, is filtering massive content quantities through an equally massive userbase to get pages of great and revolving posts. In a forum you can just filter with posts/hour and give free promotion to new posts.
I ironically up vote this also. Agreed to no upvote and downvot.
Lets cut the sorting to chronological order. With options to arrange to new or old only.
Ironically, I agree and upvoted this.
I like upvotes, otherwise I’d have stayed on forums. It’s also one of the only ethical algorithmic sorting methods as long as you can whitelist your members.
