What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.

    Having a feature to view votes/sort from your local, a sort of “what is active outside your local by your local”, might be one way to mitigate it somewhat. Though most instances probably aren’t active enough to have wide overlap in user interest outside of the local.

    Ultimately all vote based platforms that have no identity verification are open to abuse (and email is hardly a verification when you can create as many as you want). But works well enough for now.
