Oh god, he talks about democracy, on a private site no less. It would seem you're not mature enough to understand adult world.
What does democracy and this being a "private site" (which it certainly ain't) have to do with each other? I'm pretty sure the white house/10 downing Street etc are all private buildings too but are also part of democratic countries.
Also if anything, private sites are closer to a democracy than public sites (like this one is) because everyone who is allowed access to them generally have more say/power on the site.
The 'democracy' people mention is about 'free speech'. Free speech laws exists to stop THE STATE from controlling it, not a private party in a private setting. 10 downing and the White House most certainly CAN and WILL force you to control your demeanor, while if you're in my house i can control your speech and actions by kicking you out. You have no right to 'free speech' in my house, just like you have no intrinsic right to free speech on this site in particular. You have it because THEY allow it, in their private setting. Because they chose to moderate they have an obligation to keep doing it, so THEY don't become liable for something YOU say. A private site has nothing to do with democracy, it's not legally a public quorum, even if Musk implies it.
That being said, from a functional point of view, having likes and dislikes counted and shown separately can show that a thing is popular yet contested. Having them shown together in the same situation can imply lack of interest instead. First approach just gives more information.
Okay... That's nice to know about free speech, but I wasn't really talking about free speech.. I was pretty much only saying that this ain't a private site.
But if we're talking about free speech then I agree with you there, even in top economic democratic countries the idea of free speech is.. interpretational at best, with plenty of people being arrested for saying something someone else disagrees with... But when it comes to the whole "majority of a state have a say/vote on things" part of democracy, then this site technically has it with the upvotes/downvotes. I mean "vote" is written in the words and that's quite a big part of democracy, allowing everyone the right to vote.
Also I have no idea what Musk has to do with this, I don't follow him or anything so I can't say anything on that. The way I see it is if over half the members on a site have the right to vote and speak, then it's pretty much a democracy as far as websites go. But the idea that a site can actually be a true democracy is naively optimistic at best, and a site dedicated to Hearthstone would definitely have some rules about what not to talk about. Basically anything not Hearthstone related 😂 which does take away the right of total free speech but when it comes to Hearthstone and blizzard, then I think we have a pretty large spectrum on what we can talk about, you can praise them or condemn them, claim they're the worst company, compare them to cancer, whatever you want and chances are, the comment won't be removed. But if I kept uploading muffin recipes on here every day, I'm pretty a Mod would send me a message saying "Dude. Can you not?"
