Which posts and comments do you either up- or downvote? Which are you not voting on?
Upvote:
- insightful post or comment I agree with
- clever jokes or references
- being open-minded
- giving helpful advice
- any post or comment that made me laugh or simile, whether or not it is “good”
- good gut feeling about someones intention
No-vote:
- insightful post or comment I disagree with
- overused jokes
- useful bots
- someone angry venting their frustration(s)
- comments that already exist multiple times in a thread
Downvote:
- deliberately looking for a “fight” or rage baiting
- complete disregard to reality
- false and/or potentially dangerous information
- spamming bots and/or trolls
- inciting violence, no matter against whom (people seem to forget this is a straight up crime, sometimes a felony)
- propaganda and political or religious extremism
- know all, better than everyone attitude
- highly questionable anime content (especially sexualizing characters that look like children)
- obvious, malicious manipulation
- AI generated content ( mentioned first by [email protected] )
I am really interested in your vote behavior and may also update my list as more things come to mind. These will be listed under a horizontal line.
Paladin voting, righteous! 😁
Upvote: helpful information, handy tips that are those little nuggets of gold you mine comments sections hoping to find, actually witty comments instead of oft-repeated Reddit style puns, people who actually put some effort in to their post. Basically: stuff I’d want to see if I stumbled on this thread from a Google search in the future.
Downvote: comments complaining about downvotes, any reference to “tankie” or any other perceived and dismissive stereotype, users who complain about being picked on especially by mods (and usually back it up with some tinfoil fanfic about how they’ve been tracked by Them), Reddit-isms that were overused there and never worth using here, people who don’t source their “fact” especially when accompanied by a comment like “it’s easy to find this fact”. If it’s that easy, you do it.
Upvote - i like it :)
No vote - i don’t like it or don’t care
My instance doesn’t have downvotes
Upvote: the things I want others to read.
Downvote: the things I’d rather see buried.
I don’t downvote (At least not intentionally, but if I fall asleep while holding my there can be some accidental taps). Even if something seems somewhat offensive to me.
On the other hand, I don’t upvote as much as I think I should.
When a meme is funny enough to send to my wife, upvote.
When I see that one dude post his daily game screenshot, downvote.
I am simple man.
Up: comment adds to conversation or makes me laugh
Down: comment talks about upvotes/downvotes, is hateful, is blatant misinformation, is just a gif, is completely unrelated to the conversation, is a clickbait video with a clickbait thumbnail
No vote: everything else.
Up: I like it or agree
Down: I dislike it or disagree.I universally downvote things that objectify women
upvote: comment is interesting or funny
downvote: user is being rude (try not to downvote people I disagree with)
Upvote:
- Something I like
- Something I agree with
- Something funny
- A great point for an opposing view
Neutral:
- Something I don’t care about
- Something I agree with, but is incoherent/ confusing
- Things I disagree with, but is politely presented and has decent arguments
Downvote:
- Something I think is trolling/Bigotry
- Agendaposting
- Something I agree with, but has terrible argument or presented in an offensive way
- Something I disagree with, and is incoherent/confusing/presented in an offensive way
- If the post/comment is so confusing I don’t even know which side they are arguing for
- Wildly Offtopic for the thread/comunity
Incorrect spelling of words. *behavior, not behavi our. You are pronouncing the word correctly but spelling it wrong. ‘Our’ is not the same word as ‘or.’
You are mistaken. One is British, the other American English and I am from neither country. Wir können uns in Zukunft auch gerne auf deutsch unterhalten, wenn dir das lieber ist.
Ich bevorzuge Zangendeutsch.
Upvote if I think it’s high effort, no-vote for most, downvote if wrong or it’s misleading.
inciting violence, no matter against whom (people seem to forget this is a straight up crime, sometimes a felony)
Just gonna repeat what I said about this in another thread about this:
It is illegal only if it is reasonably going to trigger or calls for any immediate lawlessness. Like straight up trying to get a bunch of people together to knock-over a convenience store or actually organizing a murder.
Saying “man, I wish this evil son of a bitch took a round in the face” is not such a time.
I was banned from Reddit for inciting violence by saying “I’m surprised Kanye hasn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet” like how tf is that inciting violence? Kanye himself is going for read that?? Is Kanye the one who reported me?
Downvotes for spammers, spreading misinformation disinformation and propaganda, know it all comments which starts with" by the way or actually,etc" in a condescending manner. Also for people targeting one person specifically and trying to to make a offensive sarcastic joke in a way so they don’t get banned.
