    Lemmy dogpiles much more than reddit ever does. All one can do is upvote but it’s moot.

    Downvotes should max out at 5.

      Unenforceable wish: no limit on downvotes, but people should have to EXPLAIN them. I often learn more from opposing opinions than from statements of agreement. If I say something unpopular, I want to know WHY it’s so widely disliked. Maybe I’m unaware of something important.

          lol good point. I’m a goddam genius!

          Ironically, your reply is what I’m talking about. Tell me why I’m wrong! Point out what I missed!

              It’s ironic because thoughtful criticism is helpful. The “tell me why I’m wrong” bit is a remark meant for others, not you.
