That's all. I know that is against the "downvoats are not disagrees", but since that is how it is used, we should treat downvoats as counting towards the popularity of a comment.
Downvoat brigades would give your comments visibility, not hide it. Hiding comments shouldn't be a thing anyways.
So if your comment doesn't contribute to the discussion, you get no voats, no visibility. If your comment is something a lot of people disagree with, it will still get visibility and can be discussed.
If all voats count towards the comments score, people will think twice if they voat or not.
This shouldn't apply to submission scoring and position on the front page though.

The way we have it now sucks and I think a lot of people agree with that at least. I was putting up an idea for discussion, not demanding anything.
