Oh, that's not what you get on any of these platforms. The most upvoted thing is just gonna be the thing that made people press the upvote. Which is usually either because it's funny or "I agree."
The top thing is often flat out incorrect in whatever it's saying, but people don't know and it sounds about right so up it goes. Make a habit of reading everything, it'll do you good. And at least for now lemmy is good at scaring away the racists and the nazis so you don't have to read any of that.
Yes, but it’s still always better than stuff I see at the bottom. And it’s rarely worse than when order was determined by speed of reply
The voting mechanism enabled "the wisdom of crowds."
