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
And I’m upvoting you because while I completely disagree with your comment, I’m in gratitude of your effort and we will always need new comments.
I’m upvoting you because I respect your opinion, but disagree, because commenting for the sake of commenting reduces the overall quality of a thread and downvote myself, because by posting this comment I am contributing to the issue.

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 upvote signal and downvote noise. Novelty is good whether I agree with it or not, redundancy is bad.
Has anyone made a Simpsons shitpost thing I can join? That’s pretty much all I miss from reddit. That and Slay by Comment
I’m pretty sure the intent when upvotes and downvotes were created was to use them in regards to relevance. Is the topic about ducks and someone is going off about jeeps? Downvote. Is the community about posting DIY peanut butter but someone keeps posting Skippy™? Downvote.
It shouldn’t have anything to do with agreeing, effort, or anything like that. Just a way to keep the topic/community on track.
disagree. downvote.
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.
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 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.
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. )
