    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I upvote signal and downvote noise. Novelty is good whether I agree with it or not, redundancy is bad.

    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?

    This isn’t Reddit, there’s no account-wide tracking of special Internet points to worry about.

    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. )
