Which posts and comments do you either up- or downvote? Which are you not voting on?
Upvote:
- insightful post or comment I agree with
- clever jokes or references
- being open-minded
- giving helpful advice
- any post or comment that made me laugh or simile, whether or not it is “good”
- good gut feeling about someones intention
No-vote:
- insightful post or comment I disagree with
- overused jokes
- useful bots
- someone angry venting their frustration(s)
- comments that already exist multiple times in a thread
Downvote:
- deliberately looking for a “fight” or rage baiting
- complete disregard to reality
- false and/or potentially dangerous information
- spamming bots and/or trolls
- inciting violence, no matter against whom (people seem to forget this is a straight up crime, sometimes a felony)
- propaganda and political or religious extremism
- know all, better than everyone attitude
- highly questionable anime content (especially sexualizing characters that look like children)
- obvious, malicious manipulation
- AI generated content ( mentioned first by cloudless@piefed.social )
I am really interested in your vote behavior and may also update my list as more things come to mind. These will be listed under a horizontal line.
upvote: comment is interesting or funny
downvote: user is being rude (try not to downvote people I disagree with)
I don’t know. I just wing it.
Incorrect spelling of words. *behavior, not behavi our. You are pronouncing the word correctly but spelling it wrong. ‘Our’ is not the same word as ‘or.’
You are mistaken. One is British, the other American English and I am from neither country. Wir können uns in Zukunft auch gerne auf deutsch unterhalten, wenn dir das lieber ist.
Ich bevorzuge Zangendeutsch.
Im lazy so something has to strike me as particularly good or bad to upvote or downvote. On the bad side im usually looking at the users past comments at that point to see if I should block them. I think in kbin I could subscribe to people and a good one might make me do that figuring it means feeds they were active in would get bumped up. I don’t see that option in piefed though.
Paladin voting, righteous! 😁

When a meme is funny enough to send to my wife, upvote.
When I see that one dude post his daily game screenshot, downvote.
I am simple man.

Upvote: the things I want others to read.
Downvote: the things I’d rather see buried.
I typically upvote anything I want to see more of. I down vote posts that I really don’t want to see or really wrong info. And no vote if I’m not sure of something or don’t care. Most of the time it’s no vote.
In smaller communities it helps a tiny bit as an votes are what people see.
I forgot to upvote most of the time. but when i do, it’s usually something that made me chuckle or laugh.
Downvote, everything that has AI nonsense, musk, trump, big tech and the lot of them.
Upvote stuff I like such as positive news, shitposts, windows bad and Linux good posts.
Downvote rarely, only if the post is factually wrong or misleading and I’ve spent the time to confirm. “Person shreds other person” is a shit headline and unless he hit a 10 point debate combo with a knockout I’d Downvote.
I upvote things that I think are interesting, things that make me laugh, and questions where people are seeking feedback. I almost never downvote unless something is hideously stupid / bad info or bad take.
I can’t down vote or see them in my instance which is really nice imo. But usually if I like it, I upvote it. Relatable, funny interesting.
Upvote - i like it :)
No vote - i don’t like it or don’t care
My instance doesn’t have downvotes
