I would say it was more like many places early on tried to build places that were community powered but it always went to a more hierarchical structure. Much like how capitalism and enshittification works. Over time, the people who really want something a certain way will get their way. We were headed in a good direction with voting. Then it’s like we just forgot about it. That feature turned into the most useless thing. Remember when sites all got rid of it at the same time? That was weird right. Maybe not so weird if they were all doing it because of outside pressure. Now we still have up and down arrows but they don’t do nothing
