- PrimeMcFly 3y agoHonestly we don't need downvoting at all. Just upvoting to allow good stuff to rise, and flagging for hate speech and illegal stuff.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoCan't disagree with this enough. Twitter exists, and it sucks. Every site that only allows upvoting becomes a segregated cesspool as different factions just cheerlead in their own tribal zones.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoTwitter sucks for other reasons, not because they disallow downvoting.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoPlease, pray tell, how would you even determine if something was "for the wrong reason".
- nerdbert 3y agoSlashdot had metamoderation, where you were asked whether various anonymized votes/tags were valid or not.
- revskill 3y agoThe same applied for "upvote"
