Re: the voting system:
People who like your post/comment and want more like it can upvote it.
People who dislike it or want less like it can downvote it.
Comments where downvotes = upvotes + 3 are collapsed by default, as are all child comments under them, and people have to choose to see them.
Re: “intimidated”… I’m choosing for now to consider that word-choice an artifact of your being a non-native English speaker.
