    I think it’s amusing how there are several people ITT that think the way people use upvotes and downvotes changed all because some amorphous entity tied to Lemmy said so.

    They are absolutely “I agree with this” and “I disagree with this” buttons, Hexbear should have definitively proven that to all of you.

      Just because people stick cotton swabs in their ears doesn’t mean that they’re supposed to be used for that.

          You really shouldn’t stick cotton swabs inside your ear holes. They’re not even that great at cleaning them out.

                You’re right, and people use q-tips to clean their ears.

                What the creator intends does not matter, at all.

                  But being fit for use does matter though.

                  Cotton swabs pick up portions of ear wax, so it might make you feel happy, but they often push wax deeper which can lead to impacting.

                  Upvote/downvote based solely on agree/disagree may make you feel good for getting a little colour to match your opinion, but it doesn’t result in good conversation or better content on Lemmy.
