    Since switching to Lemmy I use my up/downvote in a different way than on reddit. Upvote now means I think the comment/post contributes something valuable while downvote means the comment/post is unnecessarily unfriendly or just not contributing anything constructive.

      That’s what they were originally about on Reddit as well before its gradual decline. “Reddiquette” as they called it.

      Unfortunately it turned into an “I agree” or “I disagree” button.
