You see, on Reddit, being slightly negative? Downvoted! Being argumentative? Downvoted!
The dude that was downvoted, if you reply with something that is anything but asslicking, he'll assume you were the one downvoting. So, downvoted!
Then at the end of the argument, him being being possibly assblasted enough that you weren't licking his ass, strangely enough, you see a couple more downvoting instantly appear on that post, suspiciously enough :thinky: I've seen something like that happen a strange amount of time, very quickly too

@coolboymew @Mr_NutterButter >send it to their friends to downvote
They 100% do this, even if it's "haha laugh at this retard". They even have a Redditor term for it: "brigading".
Of course as with Reddit rules, approved groups can do it freely. -

Reddit would be great if they just eliminated the voting system. Unfortunately, it's gay as fuck, and subject to manipulation by political interests. -

@PurpCat @Mr_NutterButter I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them have alts (it's literally free on reddit) to downvote several times or they send it to their friends to downvote
We caught some dude on facebook liking his own posts with an alt that was obviously his during an argument -

@coolboymew groupthink at it's finest and a great example of toxic positivity

Not unsurprising, most of the sub where you're basically not allowed to be negative just "strangely" have a big culture of massively downvoting anything not positive, not agreeable, not anything but complete asslicking
It's like the obvious silent unpleasantness hiding in the "toxic positivity", the very visible dark side in the sub... Except that I'm pretty sure that Reddit automatically hide less than positive posts by default as a setting in your account, so very nice system you have there 👌
At least anon on 4chan will call me a faggot and maybe explain why, if he isn't baiting -

Oh also, I've seen people use the blocking function as a "I'm losing the argument" button, so you can't contradict their very obvious bullshit that they post right before blocking you. Both times literally happened like that, they literally posted snarky bullshit and then instantly blocked me so I couldn't respond
Amazing
You know you're blocked because it's completely obvious, the messages appears as "unavailable" to you, but you can just open private navigation to see them :shrugz: It also ends up preserving their single default upvote lmao -

@Humpleupagus @PurpCat @Mr_NutterButter As I keep saying, the problem with the tree structure and the upvote/downvote is that it's made for Q&A, and link/content aggregation, which it excels at
Everything else is shit for it
So like Facebook, Reddit, Twitter (ESPECIALLY when it had a very low character limit), etc. People, instead of joining forums, they're joining fucking comment sections and link/content aggregations websites for discussion and then wonders why discussion has ultimately become completely dysfunctional -

@coolboymew @Humpleupagus @Mr_NutterButter There was a post on 4chan that had the difference between imageboard discussion and Reddit a while back: Reddit's entire economy is about upvotes, usernames, and "karma".
On 4chan everyone is equal. -

@PurpCat @Humpleupagus @Mr_NutterButter Exactly, in true forum software, everyone is equal, posts are chronological and you have to pass by the posts in order to eventually reach the end. No voting, no bullshit, no tree structure
The problem is that it's a mess for massive forums. Neogaf and SomethingAwful were miserable depending where you went (never had a Gaf account but I sometimes went there and witnessed the horrors of the news section forum)
There would probably be some worth in making hybrid softwares, or softwares that share logins so that users could go between a section made for content aggregation and comments, an ephemeral chat (chat is NOT made to be permanent unless it's for a project. Casual chat should NOT be permanent. Fuck Discord) AND a forum for more serious long form discussion -
