Upvotes seem to just federate as likes and dislikes.

      No, sometimes it is about blocking.

      If you run a small community like several of us do, even a small amount of downvotes can completely shut down a discussion from ever being seen by anyone else. It’s a way of shutting down conversation.

      If someone neither wants to contribute nor lurk, and merely drag down a community, they shouldn’t be part of it.

        I understand that if you are exploring on all and so, sometimes some communities you couldn’t care less appear on the feed, it’s happens all the time to me with sports news and related, but I just block them and move on.
