Okay, say there’s a post that says something bad… what do I (or you) do? Do you upvote it because it’s like “thank you for pointing this out”, or does your upvote mean you support whatever the post says (which is kinda the opposite)?

This is super important and not sure how many people know what they’re doing lmao

    If I like it, up vote.

    If I am ambivalent but like that they are contributing in a constructive or humorous way that is a net positive, up vote even if I don’t care for it or agree with it.

    If it has misinformation, racism/sexism/etc., is over the top hostile without justification, or is otherwise a net negative to discussion then down vote.

    If I’m not sure if it is being sarcastic I tend to not vote. Poe’s Law is like Brannigan’s law, hard and fast.
