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.
Pre-federation we had a pretty sweet culture featuring a very high signal/noise ratio where people were generally taken in pretty good faith and lightly corrected for mild things, and atomized by orbital ion canon for moderate to very bad things for the 10 minutes or so before the user is banned. We’re still reeling after federation and our signal/noise ratio has honestly gone to shit.
That said you can take Kristina’s insight or leave it but she isn’t wrong.
The culture of sport-arguing about outside cats until someone gets banned is not something I want to be part of.
What is she right about? This isn’t hexbear for her to recommend changes on, and this scenario of federated downvoters is not the same as the Hexbear harassment scenario.
