Simple up/down voting is probably a relic of the simple concepts and simplified programming needed for early development of social media (web 1.0).

An overhaul of these networks to adapt more to human-like discourse is much-needed and welcome imo.

Kialo for example has a more complex voting system that works better.

Yes, I absolutely agree, I hope to see more resources and work done in that area.
