RE: Proposal: Change Up and Downvotes to bids
" Imagine how toxic reddit could be if they actually displayed who up and downvoted your content, imagine how many toxic DMs you would get."
I personally think that would vastly improve Reddit. I might even have a look at it then, because it would become a less toxic echo chamber overall.
It is an echo chamber that's right, but it would definitely cause much more toxicity.
I think you misapprehend carrots and sticks. There are toxic snakes. Because of this people avoid pissing them off. This decreases the toxic behaviour snakes have to endure.
On Reddit, enabling folks to suffer the consequences of their toxic behaviours would reduce the toxicity of their behaviours.
There are downvotes on reddit, but you can't see who upvoted or downvoted it.
