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.

    The people downvoting you are proving your point a bit… Come on people, don’t downvote something just because you don’t agree. You can just not upvote it if you really want, but it’s adding to the discussion in a polite way which is what you want. Don’t discourage discussion and responses by downvoting them… Upvote the good stuff, downvote hate/spam, leave the rest alone.

      It seems around 75% of Lemmy is pointless or is trash garbage.

      People on here don’t want discourse and dialogue, they want passive entertainment that does not require brain power. A number of people on here clearly have a child’s mentality or stunted personality.
