Because limiting downvotes is exactly the same as banning ideas.. ?
Then once one group has silenced anyone
The only one I've seen trying to limit conversations here is you.
There are people from all points of the political spectrum here. That seems lost on you.
How does down voting stiffle anything? People are still here posting. Shit you guys use the phuk it bot to drive anything unliked down the page while dog piling it. All passive bullshit. Quiet bans and removals. But yeah, its just me doing this for no reason. Just me.
How does down voting stiffle anything?
I feel the answer to that is self-evident. The way it sometimes get used is intentional manipulation that was not intended by design.
you guys
Who are you referring to? You're talking to me, but it doesn't sound like it.

Citation needed. I am unaware of anything like what you describe.
Quiet bans and removals
Bans for rule violations are to be expected. Quiet? You know there are public logs right?
Kek. Now call for shadow bans and IP bans. Hell start verifying new accounts through friend requests. Then once one group has silenced anyone who dissents you should lift the ban but as a grouo down vote any new account into disuse. Don't forget the oh so hug box friendly block button. Hope you feel secure now.
