      Hexbear has downvoting disabled. Which is in part why they brigade people to express disapproval rather than merely use that.

      It’s not really that they don’t allow negative feedback. They just prefer that if you do have negative feedback, you comment it instead of just downvoting and moving on.

        Doesn’t that system make for incredibly obnoxious comment sections consisting only of people disagreeing and complaining + argumentative responders?

        Normal comment sections are often bad enough already

          Which is the point. Kinda like how freedom of speech lets you say stuff, but you can still be kicked out of a BLM event for saying something racist. Rather, if you have something you don’t like about a post, just say it instead of just down voting, and they’ll judge you based on that comment.
