Recently, many of our anti-Zionists posts have been downvoted to oblivion by liberals. As hexberians realized a while back, downvotes only help liberals since they are more numerous and they don’t need to engage in discourse. I am proposing to just get rid of downvotes and instead engage in discourse on content that we disagree on.

    After reading all the comments on this thread I think it might be good to make some changes but I don’t think removing downvotes should be one of them. Here are some proposals from me:

    • Deanonymize voting so everyone can see who’s casting what vote and where
      • or maybe deanonymize for the OP only
      • or maybe tally up votes by instance rather than specifying users
    • change the sorting algorithms to favor the votes of this instance above others
    • remove votes from federated instances altogether
    • implement a dedicated lib button in addition to upvote and downvote. A libvote, if you will. Use it to tell someone they’re being libby
