the cure for stupidity is not punishment, but education...

If you want to downvote things here, simply ignore them. I can point out a lot of posts made tonight that have zero upvotes.
I believe this choice was made so that downvote brigades have no power here.

You ignore and move on.

I’m beginning to think these are nothing but troll posts, regardless I’ll bite. Think of it like some guy on the sidewalk playing songs on his guitar. If you like what he does, you drop a tip. If not, you just move on. If the guy finds that people are not interested due to the lack of tips, he’ll move on. Maybe a crappy analogy, but you should get the point.

If you don’t like a post, don’t upvote. If others agree, they’ll also not upvote. People will move on if they’re ignored... Other than spam bots of course. :P

If you don't like it, you can get your ass back to reddit where you can downvote people you don't like and create an echo chamber all you want. Faggots OUT

You can do better than this. This isn't how we act at SaidIt.

There is no measure of how we act on saidit, this is a site that boasts about how free it is compared to leddit after all. Found the fag trying to police people's thoughts lmao

Ignore the crybabies, Vantafount; have faith that they will one day GROW UP.

Again...

Downvotes just enable mob mentality, instead we have "insightful" and "fun" which are used as upvotes and to categorise posts, iirc.

If you think a post is stupid you should just ignore it, since cold silence is far more punishing to both goodfaith posters and trolls.
