I think its a good example of how one platform with its ecosystem/culture can shapes our habits.

in my opinion, i think the feature of up voting and down voting in reddit are created to bring something relevant to the surface, while “hiding” something that deem not important to the discussions.

While over the years, this trend and culture changes just to silences someone that doesn’t share the way we see the world. Or on the other hand, we upvote someone that shares our ideology.

I do not like disabling the downvote button because of this, but i think it is better to disable it, if we tend to abuse it
