Lemmings, how do you use updoots and downvotes? - lemm.ee

I tend to upvote a post when it Links an interesting article or provokes an interesting conversation, and only downvote them when they voice an convectively bad opinion (like, bigotry or other unjustified vitriol). I tend to upvote comments when they make a good point or at least try to support their argument, and only downvote them for the same reason as posts: when they are trolling, being unnecessarily aggressive, or trying to justify bigotry with fallacious reasoning or something What about you?

Upvote:

  • I really like what they said
  • It feels like "this needs to be seen by more people (or by OP)"
  • It’s useful and accurate info relevant to the OP
  • It’s basically the comment I was going to write
  • The comment replies to me, engaging in positive discussion

Downvote:

  • It’s completely irrelevant or inaccurate to the topic at hand
  • The comment is needlessly aggressive, especially towards another commenter
  • Too many typos, spelling mistakes, emojis, or grammatical errors
  • The comment is solely a link to an image
  • It’s a duplicate comment (I’ll usually upvote the one with the most upvotes to counteract this one)
  • It’s useless (e.g. “This”)

Got it, no writing like a senator on Twitter. Or X, or whatever.
