What are your Lemmy upvoting/downvoting habits? How do you judge posts/comments? - Divisions by zero

I was wondering how users tend to judge what to upvote, what do downvote, and what not to vote on. I made this comment [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/24953307] which got me wondering what others think and do Personally I upvote almost everything. I see upvote as “this is a good Lemmy post/comment” and downvote as “this is a bad Lemmy post/comment”. Most of what I see is good. Bad things are things such as misinformation, bad faith stuff / trolling, people being mean/annoying, bad (in my opinion) takes, people being wrong/stupid about stuff, irrelevant things, etc. When I do not vote it’s for one of 3 reasons: either I don’t understand what it is saying, it makes a reference I don’t get, or I can’t determine whether it’s good or bad (usually because it’s unclear).

Among other things I downvote self-censorship. Not only the relatively new TikTok-brainrot stuff, but I also tend to downvote the classic American brainrot like ‘heck’ or ‘gosh’.

It’s fine if you want to swear. It’s fine if you don’t want to swear, too. But in this case don’t make me think of the word you won’t dare to say.

The urge to immediately double post the same censored meme someone else posted, but a comically uncensored edit of it is powerful.
