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 [email protected] )
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.
I’m pretty similar. I’m probably more generous with upvotes. I’ll also downvote:
I have to force myself not to downvote anything with anime. I have a visceral dislike for anime, probably a result of the shitty afternoon TV cartoon lineup in the 70s.
I block a LOT of accounts. Anything that looks like ragebait or just arguing in bad faith.
Downvoting anime is always morally correct.
[I am being hyperbolic here, relax before calling out my hypocrisy]
I understand the intent behind downvoting Youtube posts/comments, I did before aswell, but I suggest kindly that you don’t.
Some people have set up plugins or extensions to redirect to Piped or Invidious. And it is nice to have the Youtube link to share amongst non tech savy people.
