You can upvote and downvote, but you cannot attack each other. That is to say we allow more synthesis of pro-social sentiments that lets people criticize the arguments or each other’s proposals, but because there’s no reply button, there’s no way to vent their frustration against the other person. Because of that, it is very difficult to get polarized in the Polis or Join platforms. It is by design.
