MODERATORS
Not for long if the migration continues
Seeing downvotes as soon as there's at least one is so cool to me. Very small detail, but it makes a pretty big impact.
Edit: I appreciate the downvote to display this awesome feature ๐
Reddit used to have that with a browser add on called Reddit Enhancement Suite. They cut off access to the downvote numbers a while ago. I've missed it ever since.
Downvotes were shown by default without RES. They removed it but RES dev made it possible somehow.
Even with RES, I remember seeing a few years ago that Reddit does some form of obfuscation with karma. So no one really knows the true number of downvotes and upvotes.
YES! Especially since just about every social media has removed or never included dislikes at this point.
More engagement. I think the vast majority of Reddit was lurkers. This feels more like a community.
No "total karma" for accounts.
This. It makes it much more unlikely to see tons of reposts, and as such it will be easier to see new interesting stuff.
Which by extension removes the stupid one liner contest that every reddit post devolves into.
And karma farming shitposts
I was concerned of the amount of users not being enough to generate content, but so far I have been proven wrong. And the quality of the content is much better. At least for now.
Better UI
No ads and the fact, that it is open source and community driven.
Unicode characters in display names.
