There is no karma system so no people shitposting and reposting as much to pump up their score. Without this kind of gamification there is less noise.
Basically, no dark patterns built to keep you scrolling.
So then what are the up/down votes for?
Individual post/comment votes. They would only get used for post/comment sorting at best. Nothing more.
Cool, thanks!
