Well same mechanisms work here as on reddit. If something has -1 points it will just start to accumulate more negative points because of the brain shortcuts and probability
That’s why I have them turned off to not influence my judgment if the comment is interesting or not while still benefitting from upvoting posts for visibility
The only con is that I don’t see my scores which is a double edged sword because some may upvote/downvote and move on instead of discussing but that is also true with scores.
I am only here for valuable discussion really. Getting validation from points stopped being fun a while ago. I could just stick to hacker news I guess and maybe I should
Great way to look at it. The vote system is terrible, as you’re absolutely right, so many people will just keep down voting a comment to pile on and not even read anything.
Hey sorry to profile stalk just didn’t understad your last reply. Unrelated: You should try microblogging! Twitter format is okay with big char limits and all right wingers banned! I can recommend some instances 🥺
