I upbear everyone, all the time

I'm just a very positive person

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

I sometimes forget to upvote, and then realise later so I go back to upvote a person even though no one will ever see it.

I also sometimes just forget and then never realise.

I'm not a very smart person.

the view votes thing for admins is so bad for my mental health I actively avoid using it now.

I'd like to thank my fans @KuroXppi@hexbear.net, @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net, @RedNajm@hexbear.net, and @GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net and say that moving forward you all deserve upvotes from me!!!!

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

That was meant to be a downbear consarnit

[–] CyberSyndicalist@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

I warned y'all about digg voting blocks! I told you dog

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Agreed. Frequently does stop me engaging with it, creeps me out.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

i don't upvote anyone because no one on this site has ever deserved an upvote.

Also we don't endorse upelectoralism here

Me when i overshare then delete it after. The people have decreed i can only shitpost.

Tbh i think upvotes are a dark pattern invented by deepstate facebook to make you addicted to getting likes and not actually saying what you want to say.

Bring back forums without upvotes i say!

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

Gotcha, we hear what you're saying, we're all on a level owl-wink

[–] vanDerVaartBlackenedRanch@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I should have picked a longer display name

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

I have no idea what it means but it works in sideshow bob's voice

[–] PurrLure@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

Sometimes I just get like 4-5 comments in and zone out before I upbear anyone else. silly-liberator

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i turned upbears off because it was becoming an unhealthy dopamine mine, now i just mostly upbear stuff to mark that i've read it

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh my god theyre off THEYRE OFF IM FREEE IM FREEEEEEEEE

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

helping owls is very unkitty-like behaviour of me, but i'll take it i guess catgirl-smug

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I frequently vote just to balance out comments - Unless you're being a true asshole you should always have more upbears than your replies. Otherwise it's immediately clear to you that people didn't actively didn't like your post and that's mean

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

im a chronic upvoter feral-hog

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The only things I consciously don’t upbear are like the repost bots and stuff. If I read it I try to upbear. Sometimes I forget before I move off the page. If you reply to me I try to always upbear. I also like posting things like “this is a good post” because it feels more personal. Edie, this is a good post. cuddle

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Gotta upvote the abolish capital bot for the algorithm tho

[–] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

I rarely upbear unless I posted or commented, at which point I try to upvote everyone who responded. Sometimes I'll even save a post but not upvote it. You got my upbear here, though

cuddle

[–] Super_Lumalo@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

It's my "Mark as read" sign, unless the post or comment is utter dogshit.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Look, if I give you the upbear you're just going to knock it off the table again. I've been fooled too many times before, not this time.

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

i-spil-my-jice I dropped my upbears again please help

[–] Moomoo_Milk@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

Joke's on you. I upbear almost nothing because I forget that system exists.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Up voting every comment and post from you for the last month as penance
