Why you said makes me think the number of votes is wholly irrelevent.
What is interesting or helpful is entirely subjective, it’s personal opinion. What is considered misinformation is entirely subjective. That makes me believe the voting count on a post means nothing for indicating the quality.
Considering how any majority of people typically react emotionally rather than have humility and respond with consistant logic, it seems personal opinion on a mass scale is an unreliable gage for quality of material.
It seems around 75% of Lemmy is pointless or is trash garbage.
People on here don’t want discourse and dialogue, they want passive entertainment that does not require brain power. A number of people on here clearly have a child’s mentality or stunted personality.
