That's not a good solution! It means that if there are hundreds of trollish comments on the website, regardless of how all my friends downvote them, I still have to see all of them.

We will have to disagree about that.

I explicitly do NOT want other people to filter my information input. Don't take this as an absolute -- I'm fine with spam filters -- but at this point in this particular context we do not have " hundreds of trollish comments" and what's often downvoted is what the local population disagrees with.

I don't want another echo chamber.

I believe it's because we are a relatively unknown website. We had a few trolls in the past, but they gradually went away or had their accounts deleted. With more fame, this could change... although until that happens, I cannot provide exact data.
