☀️ Zadjii Not including this functionality is honestly a really neat stand-out feature of this site IMO. Even HackerNews has up/down votes for posts. I'm curious how this will affect the dynamic of this site - hopefully garbage comments like "+1" won't become the norm.

⌨️ Joseph I think I have posted more comments on this site in 2 days than I have posted on Reddit in two years.

👂 Sly Yeah, that would be very awkward, indeed. I wish it had better UX though, especially with threads, sometimes it's hard to notice where the fun is!
