I don't understand why they ever used that system in the first place, or why we're copying it here.
There is something to be said for high effort and more well thought out comments floating to the top. Obviously groupthink is the big concern, but even something as simple as the displaying of the number of downvotes does a lot for that.
The fact of the matter is retards are going to get swept up into groupthink no matter what, karma just greases the proverbial wheels a bit.
The small size of the community mitigates the groupthink problem to some extent. When it gets so big that you don't recognize 90% of the usernames then that's an existential crisis.
It's all well and good until an active pedophile drifts into the midst of the normal users and becomes institutionalized.
Yeah well, setsuna enjoyer is no more
We just have the voting system, unless it's just on Scored, I don't see a score next to any usernames which is the real problem on Reddit. They treat high karma as reaching elder status in a church.
