  When there’s no algorithm, just a list view feed, upvotes don’t really serve any purpose. I think people like doing it though, so I’d make it just something the liker can see - like it adds it to your “liked” list. The poster doesn’t get a notification or any indication of the popularity of their content.

    Lack of upvotes (and downvotes) motivates people to post more than usual, cause there's no other way to [dis]agree or feel agreed with. "Don't serve any purpose" this is a claim that will kill your network before you can think how to shape it.

      Are you sure that's not the other way around? Upvotes motivate people to post to, you know, get upvotes.
