  • What I dislike about this is that people who might have something interesting to say or discuss would be discouraged from posting altogether because of the effort involved in carefully crafting their “tone and phrasing” . Like we could still have a report function so a moderator can identify and take down obviously inflammatory -9000-type posts, right? I think people tend to back into their shells when they see their post (which could very possibly already be well thought-out) downvoted to shit for no other reason than the ‘monkey-see monkey-do’ downvote behavior. In the long run, it seems like it leads to stagnation. I’ve seen it happen on some of my favorite subreddits as they get more popular and sadly echo chambered. Just my opinion tho.
