  You specifically said “this platform”. This platform does not run on upvotes and downvotes.

    My dude, we are part of this platform and some of us seem to care. So I’d say yes, it runs on those as well, but way less than others.

      I’m not a dude.

      I was speaking specifically about the down and upvote systems as it relates to the fediverse.

      There are whole instances that don’t show votes at all.

        Everyone is dude, dude. I don’t care how they identify or what they are equipped with. Dude is gender neutral as heck.

        I know what you were speaking of, and I know those instances, at least some. Doesn’t change that we are not in a vacuum.

    I also said the algorithm is between your left and right ear, aka your brain. People act and react to stimulus accordingly. Downvote and upvotes psychology still exists on Lemmy.
