I had the same thought! Dang repeats the mantra, "bring curiosity" and here is a very curious post being downvoted. Also, the whole point of the downvote is to "disagree" but it doesn't seem to be used that way. Also, down voting limits the ability of the person "disagreed with" to communicate and share their position, which empowers the mob.

And furthermore, even talking about this topic is "meta discussion" which is discouraged here.

What does that say here? Disagreement is suppressed and self-reflection is not appreciated.

Let's just really think about that philosophy. It's an algorithm destined to echo chamber. A lack of diversity of thought.
