It's just a simple collapse thread feature.

Not so simple; it persists the collapses somehow (I think server side attached to your account rather than your session.) That’s a lot more complexity than the equivalent Reddit feature, for a change.

Hm... I always thought it has to do with the comments that get slowly grayed out? E.g., for me that was basically a "downvote".

There is a downvote button, but you need some minimum karma for it to be available to you.

I can understand why it might be confusing if there's no downvote arrow visible!
