Feel the same.
HN is exactly the same as Reddit, just a different crowd and less edge. It's nice to think that you can have a civil discussion on the HN platform but you can't. The whole internet karma/points is a flawed system.
For HN: You should have to give a reason to down votes. To give someone downvote permissions and then allow them to downvote on something they bias, isn't far.

- doublerabbit 6y agoAnd In that case they don't get to down vote. Problem solved. See downvoted already, point proven.
- anoncake 6y agoYou can't detect lies.
- shadowgovt 6y agoI believe slashdot experimented with meta-moderation for that issue, but I actually never found out what came of that system.
