I flag stories when the headline doesn’t match the content or the content piece itself is garbage.
I’m liberal with downvotes. I’ll go through some threads and only downvote - nothing being worthy of an upvote.
I get I’m different than some here who think the downvote is holy and should only be used on the most sinful but I prefer a liberal amount of course correction over even slight sins. No sense in trying to turn a boat that is already flipped.
I also use it to manipulate threads where I want a certain comment to be at the top. I’ll downvote one that I’m not particularly fond of and then upvote those I find more relevant - purely with the goal to get a certain narrative going.
I think many people here do the same, tbh. This might make me sound like a prolific downvoter but I don’t feel like I am. Many threads get no votes at all from me and I read quite a few…
