I upvote as a marked as read function (:

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

I use downvotes for that on YouTube ever since they gutted downvotes lmao

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

i quit premium when they did that, i use yt to search for info, and they took a tool i use to sort sources and save time

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

So that's why it kept recommending the same videos I have watched? Just because I haven't voted?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I do the same.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

My favorite is downvoting both sides of a political discussion when both sides have stopped citing interesting arguments/facts, and have devolved to name calling or some variant of “don’t care”.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

That's the best! I hardly ever downvote just cause I disagree-- Most of my downvotes are because I think someone is being mean or antagonistic.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I like just down voting at random.

[-] Octopus1348 23 points 2 years ago

I downvoted my own comment.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Thank you for the content OP

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

It's not easy posting content as some mods get butt hurt over jokes but all you can do is keep trying I guess?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

This is a dumb way to think. You upvote if the content is good or you like it, and you downvoted if it's bad or you dislike it.

Upvoting any post means garbage can be pushed to the front page, like this!

Someone called my brother?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

When there is competition for the front page, this is a valid consideration.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Even if there weren't competition (and there definitely is, spend some time in the New feed if you want to see some really bad posts that don't make it there); I'd still want the best ones on top.

I believe your head onto something though it sounds very important and secretive so cannot give a meaningful comment

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Isn't this meme getting a little overused?

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

You complain about overused memes on Lemmy. I complain that my butt itches. We are not the same.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Haha, very funny.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Maybe, but someone keeps upvoting just because it's content so every cow is milkable on these fertile lands

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It was overused the first time it was used. "We are not the same" is such elitist garbage. I can't believe a meme used for looking down on people and being arrogant has seen such wide use.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

While I agree that some folk would do anything to see themselves above other people I think you might be missing the irony of the meme

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah lol it's almost always ironic-- "You do this thing for some normal reason. I do it for a weird reason that may reveal a salient character flaw."

If somebody did use it to actually self-elevate or gatekeep, that would be pretty cringe. But almost all of the usage I see is ironic.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I upvote because I'm on beehaw.. and fairly sure I can't downvote

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I downvote because "content" is a bullshit word made up by C-suite jackasses to describe a budget line item. I upvote for art I appreciate, questions that are good questions asked in good faith, news and information that are informative. "Content" is only a thing if your job is "gather eyeballs for ad revenue", a phenomenon which can't even exist on Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Just gotta keep re-reminding people from time to time. We get a lot of newcomers still, and probably will for the foreseeable future, so some bad habit bleed-over from other internet spaces is pretty inevitable.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

One of them is the self censoring. People don't realise that lemmy doesn't need to cater to advertisers so we can say things as we please.

An example would be:

I WANT NAZIS TO BE VIOLENTLY BEAT UP AND HAVE THEIR KNEECAPS BROKEN. BILLIONAIRES NEED TO BE PUT IN GUILLOTINES

And I won't get something as silly as a sidewide ban.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

And no cunt algorithm to bury content just cause of some fucking cursewords.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I suspect it will be deleted though... 😂

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Haven't had that happen yet so

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've just started posting threads today and 2 deleted so far so there's hope, just keep holding out!

[-] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago

Which is why the Lemmy community is absolute garbage.
