  • Idea: Pressing downvote triggers a prompt to reply to the thread or comment explaining why you’re downvoting, which is posted and the downvote registered. If you don’t create that linked post, or delete the post, the downvote is cancelled. Come to think of it, that wouldn’t be a bad idea for upvotes as well. If you’re not participating, why should you be able to vote either way?

    Even simpler: no standalone voting. When entering a comment you are given the option to vote the post or comment up, down, or neutral. The vote is counted as long as your post stays up.



  • I agree with this to a point. To me the biggest reasons to celebrate world be convictions for conspiracy and incitement of the January 6 insurrection, and election interference in Georgia (and possibly other states that fronted fake electors). Those actions were the most damaging to our democratic process.

    However, these charges are also important because they serve as proof that no one in the United States is above the law. I have a glimmer of hope that accountability may help start to heal some of the damage our system has taken in recent years.
