MODERATORS
I guess if someone is operating under the premise "what is popular is correct" they would find value in votecounts. I dunno, I might browse weird though; I dont read community names, usernames or look at vote count.
I always saw votes as being for the entity (YouTube, Reddit etc) so they can serve up what's popular to users so they're more attractive to users.
Again, lemmy is rarely active enough for comments to be banished and all of which is ignoring the fact that the numbers are meaningless just migrate.
All roads lead to the same end though: migrate. If you care about your comment numbers migrate and the downvotes stop. Account numbers don't grant you any special treatment so migrate because you don't lose anything. Accounts are free and your score means nothing, just migrate.
This very much seems an argument for arguments' sake.
Except you came to me and didn't do any of those things that you said that you should. That's fine, this is unproductive, I'm gonna go now.
