Yeah votes are the worst metric to measure anything because of bot voters.

May I ask how do you format your text? My format bar has disappeared from wefwef.
On Reddit there were literally bot armies by which thousands of votes could be instantly implemented. It will become a problem if votes have any actual effect.
It’s fine if they’re only there as an indicator, but if the votes are what determine popularity, prioritize visibility, it will become a total shitshow at some point. And it will be rapid. So yeah, better to have a defense system in place asap.
Yeah probably the traffic took a nose dive they figured they have to backtrack. Better get a little rather than nothing.
Ah ok. Yeah I thought the markdown was the same as reddit being markdown but it used to have a toolbar.
Thanks for response.
Also I’ve wondered why don’t they have an underline markdown.
