minus-squarePons_Aelius@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months agoNah, It goes back way further than that. Slashdot had a similar system a decade before reddit existed.

You can upvote stuff here (and downvote on kbin) so you will still get a group that are obsessed with making the number go up.
