MODERATORS
They never mattered. Its a psycological trick to steal your attention. Some instances disable downvotes or voting at all
I’ve read about the disabling of voting and find it interesting. I enjoy the voting system because it gives me an easy way to interact with a post without having to comment. I usually only downvote if the post is low effort/slop, or the poster/commenter is just being a troll.
Thanks for your input.
