Downvoting doesn’t work that well
The main issue is that if a comment gets downvoted when newly created, it looses almost all visibility (gets shown further down), and it mostly does just from one downvote
This just creates and echo chamber where only the most accepted/mainstream opinions bubble up
It would be nice if we could “sort by controversial” or “sort by new”, so that we got more variety of opinions
