Also, those upvotes and downvotes don’t mean shit here

This is one thing I’ve been trying to figure out, I keep hearing this a lot. What exactly is different with the upvotes and downvotes? Do they not bury comments and posts or something? Serious question just trying to be informed

At least in the app I’m using there is no cumulative score for your upvotes/downvotes, so people don’t care about it.

Also comments don’t seem to get hidden due to downvotes thankfully. That was always a stupid system.

Tbh I wish that the comment voting system didn’t exist, or that to downvote you had to write a legit reason why, and everyone could vote the votes and reasons. Too many people just use it as a disagree button.

Well, I downvoted you because I disagree. Who’s on the committee to decide if this is a shit reason? Also, which committee decided that downvotes are not for disagreement?

Well the rules on Reddit specifically say that the downvote button isn’t a disagree button. Haven’t even looked at the rules on them here tbh, I assume it’s different per instance.
