    Downvotes/dislikes are a great way to weed out misinformation and low quality content

    That simply does not happen. Even so, the report button exists for dealing with both situations – you don’t need a 2nd option (which can be easily manipulated, considering there is no age gap and/or restrictions – even your toddler can flag your post as “low quality content”). In other words… that is why we can’t have nice things.

      If anything, voting in either direction keeps content samey, bland and generic so it appeals to a wider audience. Basically, enforcing the same enshittification happening because of capitalism, but for bullshit numbers that don’t even allow you to buy shit.

      But, uh… That is most certainly not what the report button is for.
