Lemmings, how do you use updoots and downvotes?

Jojo@lemm.ee to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 46 points –

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?

Memes: upvote if I find it funny

Text posts:

  • upvote if agree
  • do nothing if disagree, but the post is valid
  • downvote if OP is trolling, or rude, or otherwise makes me uncomfortable

But, there are exceptions

What about comments?

Similar theory. That's usually how I find out a poster is trolling. I ask for clarification and they double down on their original post
