Not yet. Downvotes can be a useful community moderation tool, but with a platform this small and young I think it’s a little premature and more likely to turn off new users more than anything else.

@Broseph hm how so? I don't quite follow the connection between platform being big or small and users being turned off by a downvote button

I really like everything about the Less Wrong comments, and I see no reason Manifold couldn't steal the whole thing. This was suggested at Manifest by some of the Less Wrong team, iirc!

They have upvotes and downvotes as one axis, and then agree/disagree as a second axis.

@Joshua I suggested this during the time Eliezer popped into the discord chat and made a long thread about possible improvements. Would love to see this implemented here.
