    what was the problem that needed solved? like was there any demand for this at all. why is the goal to turn this place into a hugbox

        but then why have upvotes, instead of just telling them it was good?

        getting rid of voting altogether isnt a terrible idea, but it might get unmanageable in such a big community. or maybe it would be fine idk, but if i was mod id still at least ask people before i made that change

            im not as mad either, it doesnt matter that much at least in comparison to earlier, but im still a little annoyed because why are they fucking with something that works when nobody had a complaint.

          well, if this no downvotes trial goes well, I see literally no reason not to try a no voting at all trial

          this is a new platform, and it's small young and plastic right now

          this is absolutely the time to be experimenting like this

      The term "hugbox" instantly raises my hackles and makes me wonder if you might actually be a reactionary asshole. I don't know that you're a reactionary asshole, obviously, and you may not be, but maybe don't call things hugboxes? That would be my suggestion.

        why is it bad to say hugbox? does it have some meaning i dont know`? i thought it just mean an echo chamber, maybe slightly more derogatory

            oh, ok. id never heard that before, next time ill just stick with echo chamber or something. not my intention to reference autism and wasnt aware of a link. but i dont agree though that not wanting artificial kindness to be enforced is somehow reactionary.

            and i dont know what the fuck youre talking about with regard to trans people. i mean like they can be downvoted as well i guess ? but thats a pretty shitty argument lmao. trans people post cringe sometimes too, theyre not immune
