    Stuff like this makes me very sympathetic to lemmy instances that disable downvotes

      I read the comment, then judge the comment and use that judgement and voting scores to judge the community.

        Yeah. In my experience upvotes/downvotes often have very little to do with the actual quality of a comment and more to do with how much it conforms with the current political zeitgeist of whatever community you’re participating in. The converse of this is that low quality comments telling people who disagree to go F themselves may also get upvotes.

          Yeah, the “platonic ideal downvote” is only supposed to be used for content that “doesn’t contribute to the conversation” or whatever, but that is very often just not the case. There’s even research on how downvotes easily lead to a bandwagon effect: here’s a blog post on this, based on a research article.

          Hmm, I should probably create a Beehaw account and move over there. It’s a shame that account migration really isn’t a thing on Lemmy

            Interesting I didn’t realize there was research on this stuff. Yeah maybe I should go to beehaw too. Blahaj is another one that disables downvotes. It’s true theres no full account migration but theres ways to export your settings and subscription etc to a new community (see this or this). Apparently theres also ways to link two accounts for a persistent identity, by putting the other accounts username in your bio or something, but I don’t know a lot about that.
