Okay, say there’s a post that says something bad… what do I (or you) do? Do you upvote it because it’s like “thank you for pointing this out”, or does your upvote mean you support whatever the post says (which is kinda the opposite)?

This is super important and not sure how many people know what they’re doing lmao

    I think of votes as adding or decreasing visibility. Which is a little different than “I like this.” An upvote means you think other people should see a post/comment.

    So unsavory but important things still deserve an upvote imo. That doesn’t mean you like the thing being discussed.
