Yeah Reddit's name could have been "Promote or Censor" because that is literally what the point of the whole site is, and they even have a threshold at which it literally hides the comments and you have to expand it by clicking a barely-visible button
Maybe we should also remove upbears?
But I use that number for validation
I like when my silly takes get upbeared, makes me feel supported by the community 🫂
Although it might stimulate more discussion, as comments would be the only way to interact with something
I remain steadfast in my belief that we should replace upbears with react emojis, filled from the emotes we use regularly but are legible when shrunk down.
I was opposed to even having upvotes back in the early months of the site. I still don't like it, although it does effectively trigger the monkey-brain "number go up" impulse that can drive further posting.
Yeah and we do need some way of surfacing GOOD POSTs
