  • Hm, alright. It’s gonna be one of:

    • Fully completing Majora’s Mask with a bud, going through each of the mask quests and figuring them out together was amazing
    • Having a hilarious good time smashing through Mystical Ninja Goemon with another friend
    • My friend group as a whole organizing around games of Smash 64/Melee for our own tournaments
    • Halo 1-3 co-ops and multi with my brother and cousin




  • I get you, altho that I’d just report.

    If we took a less spammy/insane thing for example though, like just a low quality post, I understand that. Not objectionable enough to report, and no utility in responding because it’s just noise and you’d just increase the noise. And there is utility in getting rid of it (or at least deemphasizing it) because it gives space to actual discussions.

    I think that’s a reasonable use case for downvotes. It’s definitely not the only way they are used (e.g. disagree button), but valid anyway. There are other mechanisms to sort this way too (e.g. number of likes + age of comment, so old comments with no/few likes sink - new junk still sits at the surface for a bit tho, possibly longer than if downvotes could drop em). But worth more thought for sure.


  • Why is that the exact opposite of what you want?

    If there’s something objectionable in a rule breaking way, report. Otherwise, this seems like you literally just don’t want to have discussions, which is certainly your prerogative but then what exactly are you getting out of this?
