How deep are they willing to guzzle that Nazi boot?

      Is it? There are plenty of subreddits who have taken downvotes out of their community. Badly, but they have. /r/CanadaPolitics will outright ban you if you ever admit to downvoting something in the community.

      The removal of downvotes alone is not remotely sufficient evidence of being “quite different” from Reddit in that regard. Honestly it just reminds me of /r/Conservative and their flair system too. I don’t understand why downvotes are being banished.

      Reddit basically removed downvotes as well since the EA comment. You still had the button, but it was inable to change the trend of the first few minutes.
