    They always were agree/disagree buttons.

    You can downvoted anywhere, anytime. Just post conservative stuff, you’ll get downvoted, and you’d get called the laziest names anyone has come up with.

      I don’t know if you’re being ironically hilarious by design, or what…but man, judging by the back to back negative numbers I think you’ve got your fingers on the pulse here.

      If its by design, kudos on a game well played 👏

        Tbh, the only one I care about is guns, and everything else is secondary. Even abortion is born out of me not knowing when it becomes murder and playing it safe. And voting Trump is definitely a lesser of two evils choice, one I hope to not have to make.

        So yeah, not a game really, but Im definitely pushing buttons and saying exactly the right things.

      Old Reddit down voting was less common. It was reserved for obvious spam. In fact Reddiquette specifically stated not to use them as agree/disagree buttons. If you down vote then you’re told to comment explaining why. Before the Digg influx you got some fantastic debates on Reddit with people you disagreed with.

      I was hoping lemmy would be similar to old Reddit. Seems not to be the case, which is a shame.

      Re: your comment. I think you’re a brain dead idiot for voting Trump. He’s literally stated he wants a dictatorship and he’s committed multiple crimes.

        I think there should be a system like where you have a limited amount of downvotes every day. Easy enough to get around, just multiple accounts, but it makes enough of a barrier that I think most users won’t bother with.

        Tbh, Trump is terrible, but Biden is worse. Its like a lefty who holds his nose and votes Biden.
