There are a handful of considerations. Two that were important to me:

1. The instance host wasn’t likely to call it quits a few months in.
2. The instance host is hands off when it comes to user expreaaion, with the exception of dangerous illegal activity and legitimate and serious cases of harassment.

That’s a fair point.

The best content on this platform often has less than 10 votes. The most? The sociopolitical headline mill communities.

If certain people feel that’s the good content, that’s their prerogative. I don’t.

I find a good amount of opinions in that post highly idealized and conceptual, but not really the end experience. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing the link.

I’d be more open to a voting system that rewards actual contribution. For example, a user is allotted (rewarded?) a certain number of votes for every post and every comment they make. The content creators and discussion participants drive the platform.

I’m sure a whole new set of problems would arise, but I feel it’d be a fresh experience, with less armchair warriors.

I think voting is completely unnecessary, and is a sort of “participation placebo” for the lazy but opinionated.

No, and I wish votes didn’t even exist here.

I’ve been climaxing lately.
