I disagree, the downvoting on Reddit is a form of soft censorship. If you do disagree with someone's opinion, argue your point rather than rely on silent protest.
its only censorship because the ranking algo (what is at the top) is not individualized. if 2 ppl dislike all the same things shouldn't the algo rank their posts highly for each other?
That's how echo chambers are made in my opinion. These attempts at personalisation of service sort of ruin the organic nature of content, also if a post on deddit goes -100 it's hidden
very true, echo chambers can be made but only if the algo is set up to only show things you agree with. idk the right mix of things you agree with and things that challenge your ideas.
maybe only polarizing things (things you strongly agree or disagree with) should be ranked highly? 🌊
