Ngl sometimes I upvote stuff out of habit, I catch myself going back to a thread and realizing I upvoted some heinous stuff on accident lol
Yeah this happens. I treat upvotes like a “read” system. But I think there can be accounting for that in moderation decisions.
I honestly do this too (upvote almost everything, but I try to avoid anything that might be problematic) but I do think people would (hopefully) take into account accidents when looking at a user’s overall history.
That’s a good question, actually…. Are the visible upvotes per post or could you go to a persons account and view everything? I’d kind prefer the latter just to avoid jumping to conclusions if someone does accidentally upvote something bad.
I catch myself doing this too
This happens to me constantly on mobile because every app is really sensitive about left/right swiping. I could just turn gestures off but I'll probably never vote on anything if I have to hold tap on something to open the menu and click the up arrow. So realistically I'm gonna catch some likes and bookmarks on some weird stuff.
