Here is how to make Phuks a popular site:
1 Take away the downvoting button.
2 Post on Reddit that Phuks doesn't have it.
3 Welcome all the intelligent people migrating.
If interested, I can explain the whole story behind the downvoting crap.
It looks like you are unfamiliar with basic logic.
0 (neutral) becomes -1 (negative) if +1 (positive) exists. Therefore -1 is a logic fallacy.

Removing the downvote may work while the site is still small, but it will quickly break-down if the site grows.
A new queue that gets filled rapidly needs downvotes for quick sorting. When the queue gets jammed up with spam and garbage, less people will go through it, leading to less sorting, a vicious circle.
Downvotes clear the clutter, resulting in a better moving queue, garbage disappears quicker, and less good stuff slips past.
Of course they do have a downside as well. The admins may be open to changes in how it works, but I don't see the downvote going away altogether.
In my experience modding on larger sites like Voat and Reddit, the new queue is probably the most important process in a site like this, and the downvote is vital for it to operate efficiently.
