All I can say, as someone that used Reddit for almost a decade and now is on Lemmy for a while: do not care about votes. Yes, people use it as a “I agree” or “I disagree” button, but you shouldn’t use it as a validation tool. Especially on Lemmy where your account doesn’t have karma.
One of the things that was nice in difference to those websites was that it was used as an actual disagreement or agreement tool. Usually, I use it and then explain my thoughts if it’s negative or vice versa if it’s positive. On Reddit they use it like a emotional validation/response tool and don’t even bother to ever explain anything. That’s why I thought there was no karma to prevent shit like that.
