  Can you expand on that? And by the way, it seems like upvoting and downvoting are pretty much worthless here right? Like there is no ranking system that permanently folllows you correct?

    The fediverse is free. No shareholders.

    I’d argue the only worth of votes is for posts and comments. Nothing good came from running aggregate “karma”.

    When someone contributes here it’s because they thought it worth sharing. Not that they knew a lot of people would push the happy button.

    Upvoting and down voting were always about sorting content by worthiness, and they are the same function here.

    Upvoting here is more “thanks for sharing” and less “i agree.”
