As a somewhat frequent poster myself, I kind of miss the meaningless number going up. It lets me track how many people have seen the stuff I posted and cared enough to react

    Votes are the only reason making a social platform social.

    Juat look at Youtube comments, Instagram, Facebook, etc. None have downvotes.

    Its somehow more social to see opinions on votes besides text.

      I think voting is completely unnecessary, and is a sort of “participation placebo” for the lazy but opinionated.
