I tend to upvote a post when it Links an interesting article or provokes an interesting conversation, and only downvote them when they voice an convectively bad opinion (like, bigotry or other unjustified vitriol).

I tend to upvote comments when they make a good point or at least try to support their argument, and only downvote them for the same reason as posts: when they are trolling, being unnecessarily aggressive, or trying to justify bigotry with fallacious reasoning or something

What about you?

    Memes: upvote if I find it funny

    Text posts:

    • upvote if agree
    • do nothing if disagree, but the post is valid
    • downvote if OP is trolling, or rude, or otherwise makes me uncomfortable

    But, there are exceptions

        Similar theory. That’s usually how I find out a poster is trolling. I ask for clarification and they double down on their original post
