I like the level of thoughtful discourse, The sometimes-interesting sidetracks, and that the dopamine drip of upvotes is minimal.
I don't like downvotes (in part because it makes upvoting difficult on mobile), and would prefer a flag-for-review (to further tax the mods, I assume), but if the fade-out from downvotes helps reduce spam and low-quality responses, I can live with that.
I also don't like that there's a dopamine drip of upvotes at all, and find the number near my username distracting. This is the only social media platform I use, and most of the time I'd rather be reading a book but this is so easy to browse.
Posts like this are a helpful kick in the pants to go away and read a book.
