Downvotes and Sorting - sh.itjust.works

Sorry if there’s already been an explanation or there’s documentation I didn’t read or whatever. I’m just curious how stuff works here On reddit, the idea was to not use downvotes as a disagree button, but to use it for off topic/objectively false comments so fewer people would see/engage with them Does voting contribute to sorting here as well? Should downvotes be used the same way, or does it function as a disagree button?

I'm also not sure if there's a better place to post this, I'm still feeling things out around here

and there is a Beehaw Support community that this would be a good fit for.
