    I agree, you’re literally explaining the use case for a vote. It can be gamed sure but it cuts out a lot of the noise it also allows for other sorts like looking for unpopular or controversial comments.

    Which is the point of this community

    Which makes the OP so very meta

      I can only discern popularity by everyone’s comment contributions. And I like it that way.

        So why not just go to the comments section of newsweek or some other such site?

          I’m assuming newsweek doesn’t have super niche nerd or shitposting columns. I could be wrong, though?

          I suspect we use this platform differently. I’ve personally blocked nearly all political and domestic news communities on Lemmy.

                Well at least you are a person of some taste and distinction. I hope you shitpost well and find many merryments and giggles anon.
