The coolest thing about one of my first posts on Tildes is that I voiced a conversation perspective counter to the others in the thread and it was upvoted and displayed alongside opposing views at the top.

The 'Malice' label sends a private notification to the moderator (currently only Deimos), advising them why you think a comment is bad and should be removed.

The down vote button can be abused to quash reasonable discussion. Trolls love abusing it. Best if that you don't like it, that you ignore it.

It... does. They're called labels and you have to specify why you're downvoting.
But labels are personal right? Nobody else can see them?
Turns out they're public. What do you see?
