This is not about offering to vote (wich can be disabled in Decidim which I
know better than other tools) but about providing a support to a comment. It's
very different because that allows people not fluent in English to give an
educated opinion and partipate. It's easy when you're fluent to express
yourself, and it takes hours to one who is not, most of the time he will
abandon before.
