I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the time to reply. Has anyone else been trying to do this?

I really like this idea actually! I have no clue how it would play out in reality but it's a novel idea and id be curious to see how it plays out if it's implemented anywhere.

I can imagine having a score / karma / whatever of 0 would be highly sought after and or stigmatized in one way or another. I can't really predict what would emerge but i would enjoy watching it develop its own sort of "culture" (i.e whatever the equivalent of "karma farming" would be, if/how brigading would be affected, relevant slang ['updoot'], etc).
