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.

                  I don’t care what you think, I care what’s better for the trans community so they don’t get harassed. You can get bent for all I care

                    “You can get bent for all I care”.

                    removing downvotes leads to a culture of viciously petty, shallow, dunks in lieu of downvotes.

                    “I don’t care what you think, I care what’s better for the trans community so they don’t get harassed.”

                    I was trying to politely lead to the conclusion that this isn’t your instance to advocate for change in.

                    You’re insinuating that I’ve advocated for harm to the trans community. I have not.

                    You haven’t shown that removing downvotes is useful for the topic at hand, which is federated downvotes.

                    I don’t want to repeat the culture of hexbear, but I’m very happy it’s there for the people who do.
