I’ve seen a good bit of debate on Kbin surrounding downvotes, so what are your thoughts? Should they exist? Should they be shown separately? Should you be able to see who downvoted?
I personally like downvotes and especially like that they’re shown separately. You’re able to get a much better idea of how people feel about something, and you can more easily express a minority opinion. Of course, there are downsides (e.g., brigades), but I think the pros outweigh the cons.
We should have downvotes, but we also should be able to see who up- and downvoted.
If you’re on kbin you can. On whatever comment you just hit more -> activity. Although for whatever reasons the ‘upvotes’ are labeled as ‘favorites’.
Oh, I didn’t know that, thanks for the heads up.
I imagine the “favorite” name is to match with Mastodon’s favorites. Still not a huge fan of the name tho.
@Prej why?

Taking away the anonymity of downvoting could make the people think twice before they do, I think.
