    Votes/karma mean absolutely nothing.

      Bullshit. They have very precise meaning: How many people up- and downvote things.

        So what value does the up/downvote on this platform have? Enlighten the rest of us.

          Their value lies in their meaning which is telling everyone how much something got upvoted or downvoted.

          Really, it’s a simple concept.

              In the same sense that a smile and a frown have no value, possibly. But that’s rather nihilist.

                When smiles and frowns can be manipulated via bots … I’ll agree… but until then, especially on instances that believe communism works, they’re beyond useless. Hell many instances disable downvotes so those people can’t downvote anyway.
