As Reddit melts down, users are fleeing to lemmy, kbin, tildes and more.

        Are you talking about these things? Those are escalation arrows, not upvote and downvote buttons, totally different.

            it causes the device of the poster to operate at 1°F higher or lower, depending. (up= lower temperature)

                Well then they shouldn’t affect you one way or the other!

          Yes. That’s what I see. I had no idea it wasnt upvote/downvote as I use jerboa.

          So the escalation arrows just push a comment to the top?

            Yes, they escalate things to the top of the page.
