I'm alpha.
I never complained about downvotes, but I always argued that they shouldn't be a disagree button.
I still hold that position. I just accept that downvoting and moving on is more effective at preserving free speech than allowing stupidity to go unanswered.
It's the morons who got upvotes for telling you what you wanted to hear and never received any offsetting downvotes who now control the narrative and are stifling free speech.
Whereas the truest free speechers never downvoted morons, morons still downvoted the truest free speechers. And so to the other morons, it looks like the retard was the correct one. This is the culture that I inherited when I got here, and this is the culture that I have maintained.
Inb4 >yeah?! Well I was here since Whoaverse and I negate your narrative.

You're genuinely stupid if you mistakenly believe you're smarter than everyone

Very true.

We're not talking about agreement or disagreement. We're talking about downvoating stupid shit, which takes up space and needs to be discouraged, not ignored.
I dispute that free speechers never downvoated moronic content, because that was the recognized purpose of the arrows.
You didn't even spell it right.
