Which posts and comments do you either up- or downvote? Which are you not voting on?
Upvote:
- insightful post or comment I agree with
- clever jokes or references
- being open-minded
- giving helpful advice
- any post or comment that made me laugh or simile, whether or not it is “good”
- good gut feeling about someones intention
No-vote:
- insightful post or comment I disagree with
- overused jokes
- useful bots
- someone angry venting their frustration(s)
- comments that already exist multiple times in a thread
Downvote:
- deliberately looking for a “fight” or rage baiting
- complete disregard to reality
- false and/or potentially dangerous information
- spamming bots and/or trolls
- inciting violence, no matter against whom (people seem to forget this is a straight up crime, sometimes a felony)
- propaganda and political or religious extremism
- know all, better than everyone attitude
- highly questionable anime content (especially sexualizing characters that look like children)
- obvious, malicious manipulation
- AI generated content ( mentioned first by cloudless@piefed.social )
I am really interested in your vote behavior and may also update my list as more things come to mind. These will be listed under a horizontal line.
Upvote is mostly if I want better visibility for the post and that is the intended feature even if you do not agree. Sometimes I upvote comments that I like, because comments are not really about that and more about opinion. I do not have downwote option on my instance, nor can I see the down votes which is fine for me.
I see you are a bigger person than me (I genuinely mean that, because this can be seen as sarcasm)
