Get off your high fucking horse. Upvotes are for content you want to see, downvotes are for content you don’t. Can we stop pretending there’s some bullshit morality attached or that they’re for anything other than base popularity?
This isn’t right either, upvotes are for whatever I want and downvotes are for whatever I want. Ima fucking downvoted myself now after I post this comment
I’m downvoting you now because I agree with you
Upvote = I laughed. That’s what I came for. To many occasions nowadays where a post’s main purpose is something other than making me laugh. Y’all need to entertain me better.
I upvote signal and downvote noise. Novelty is good whether I agree with it or not, redundancy is bad.
Harmful ideas should be downvoted and repressed even if they took effort to type out, actually
If it’s garbage then I’ll downvote it and maybe block the user if they continue to post garbage in the future.
Yes it’s effort, but is it constructive?
I only upvote comments if the person posted something I was going to post myself. Saves me time. If I think the post itself is cool I upvote the post.
Has anyone made a Simpsons shitpost thing I can join? That’s pretty much all I miss from reddit. That and Slay by Comment
the reason I upvote a post can differ. sometimes it’ll be because I agree with it, sometimes it’ll be because I want more people to see it and interact with it.
Actually never thought of it this way before, but that may have also been the point the way reddit works changed
This isn’t Reddit, there’s no account-wide tracking of special Internet points to worry about.
It’s about scoring to help sorting through content that’s relevant, not a competition for points.
Yeah, that was my point.
Up vote = I agree
Down vote = I disagree
Reported = I super disagree
And anyone who says that they don’t do this is a bloody liar.
I don’t report things I disagree with, but I type long responses and usually delete before sending so ha! That will show them.
I’ll say it and I’m not a liar.
Upvote= needs to be seen more. (I could disagree strongly but feel others should see it. )
