Which - to me - is a good thing.

Do not know what downvotes are.

Yeah, it’s the strange thing about engaging post titles - people seem to be so busy answering them, they ‘forget’ to also upvote them. In contrast, a meme that’s funny but about which there’s not much to say, is more likely to get an upvote as some kind of compensation for the lack of discussion.

If a post is interesting enough to write a comment, it also deserves an upvote.

Its a silly system that only worked on reddit for a short while. If you are old enough you’d know that already from slaahdot karma development/history

/. 's moderation is the closest any moderation will get to ‘adequate at best’, but vastly imperfect.

Natalie Portman’s grits approve this message.

My expectation is that a post’s score is upvotes minus downvotes, but I think it should be more like upvotes plus comments with downvotes excluded (or maybe let users filter based on upvote/downvote ratio or something). Maybe count commenters instead of comments.
