    hmmm thats an interesting dilemma, no upvotes means no way for users to bury “bad” content. But downvoting definitely contributes to “toxicity”. its gonna be cool to see how this all plays out. i wonder because when youtube got rid of thumbs down i was upset, but part of me is happy there is no downvoting here. i think the difference is this place is “small” and so i feel a need to work with people to have an outcome we both like because its in both of our best interest. where as on a platform with millions of users you almost don’t care what individuals think because there’s tens of hundreds of thousands of more people that are gonna come along and my lizard brain just wants to be accepted by the masses. i mean it makes sense, we as humans havent had to deal with the opinion of millions until now, 100 years ago we’d all be worried about what Jeffery nextdoor thought of us or whatever.

      I think this all just goes to show that there is no “hivemind” here. Nobody is getting mass downvoted, but because it’s a small community, the rule of 1% doesn’t apply and there’s therefore no bad content to be buried.
