I am ok with downvoting, if I have the ability to change my settings so that I can view downvoted comments. However, I think that downvoting is a less desirable than individual-centric controls. I strongly prefer to have have the individual ability to block/mute/suppress any comment or commenter, and I am ok delegating that ability to someone or something else as long as I can withdraw my delegation and undo any changes that were made. To put it differently- I might decide that I trust some organization or individual to build block/filter lists and I might consume those lists (as I do for spam blocking, ad blocking, etc.), as long as I can observe what they're doing and opt out at any time. It seems social media is long overdue for that. I am NOT ok with anyone (or anything) else doing these for me without my explicit opt-in, especially if I don't have any way to see what decisions they made on my behalf or to reverse those decisions.
