the sats go to the fund that's sent to everyone daily
This doesn't align incentives.
If you want to stick to two principles:
- Voting related sats flows to the content creators/posters
- No censorship
...then there is no room for a downvote button.
The 100-sats would mean that SN is selling downvotes. That's weird, imho.
I don't really like the idea of a rich person silencing some people and rewarding passive users of the site.

I'm open to alternative ideas and like your idea directionally even though it doesn't really work entirely.

Passive users aren't rewarded really - they had to at least contribute some value at one time. I'm going back to work on the trust algorithm soon and this will be one reason why - I think I definitely over-reward people who weren't super active recently.
The sort of simple implementation of this is to have a "i don't like this" button and you have to pay at least 100 sats for clicking that button. And the sats go to the fund that's sent to everyone daily :)
Or are you thinking about something else?
