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 [email protected] )

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.
