For me, it’s the ability to disable downvotes on a community on PieFed. On Reddit, every time a sub gets popular, discussions just get downvoted into oblivion in favor of memes. There are always certain topics you simply can’t discuss without getting buried.
With this feature, you don’t have to keep splitting a community into smaller and smaller fragments just to have a space where a topic is allowed. Everything gets represented based on how many people actually like the topic, without people who dislike it being able to effectively censor it and prevent others from discussing it. That’s the killer feature for me.
