    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.
