I upvote for visibility, downvote for being rude. It’s not entirely me agreeing or disagreeing. Sometimes I upvote a person I argue with because I see this argument and their effort valuable to the community and want others ro see it, same with posts.
I just upvoted your meme and I expect my comment to get a bunch of votes one way or the other.
Nobody is obligated to rate (or like/dislike) anything
Lemmings who desperately need to know whether anyone has noticed them:
Notice me Senpai!
I feel obligated to rate this
Sometimes the only reasonable response is no response at all.
Good point. Sometimes there’s a very neutral feeling that you don’t dislike but don’t like at the same time
I quite like the star-button on Mastodon for this. Just pings the comment author that you appreciated their comment. So, it’s not an indication to some algorithm that this comment is incredibly relevant for everyone, because well, some comments just aren’t.
I upvote everything, even shit I don’t like. Why? Why not 🤷.
I have set both short and long swipe right to be upvote in my favorite clients (Memmy, Voyager). That way I can rapid fire the upvotes on a discussion I like.
If I feel compelled to get off my ass and downvote something, it’s always two clicks away in the menu.
Eat shit fuckhead.
One upvote please 🙏
Edit: I still appreciate the downvote
I still upvoted this comment fellow fuckhead ☺️.
We are all fuckheads on this blessed day
