This may sound like a weird take, but the upvotes and downvotes system is a good way of learning about what people accept and don’t accept, and to help me understand people better. I’m autistic and had a sheltered history, and I’m also a novelist; and honestly seeing agrees and disagrees is really helpful for me. Most of the time they shouldn’t be taken too seriously, of course; and you should have or develop enough awareness to understand when you’re just plain valid, or when you actually might need to adjust your thinking.
I do agree that it has it’s merits, I just don’t think that it helps for accepting different POV’s which is something I feel is important on social platforms due to the amount of people on it. I tend to not let down votes effect me, my complaint is strictly visibility side
I’m glad you have found a way to help yourself with the current system! I gave up myself XD
