- sizt 5y agoNarcissists love a system of no downvotes, and other forms of passive aggressive, group think.
- strken 5y agoThe problem is that extremely low-quality comments (e.g. anything from "agree" and off-topic memes to irrelevant political sledging to the kind of thing that will get the user banned when a moderator sees it) are the majority of downvoted comments. Requiring a reply would give them long chains of unnecessary comments until they hit the threshold to be hidden.
