If I ever get around to building that damned publishing app, you'd better believe that downvoting articles is going to be a thing.
The idea that you can only upvote something is hot garbage. #Medium

@rw I dunno, I feel like the alternative of only ever upvoting something has its own lofty problem where there's a plethora of upvoted bullshit and no way to say "actually, this article sucks"
You still have mob rule, just one that functions in the affirmative rather than the negative.
@rw but muh curated content algorithms
Actually you're right though, maybe bookmarking is the better alternative to likes.
Actually, talking to people about this for more than 10 seconds has made me realize that voting is probably not a good idea at all for content.
