In a perfect world that would be great, but there's enough people there that the tired overused jokes would be voted to the top just like on reddit IMO. Even the various astronomy sub's are terrible for having tons of shitty jokes over actual information.

well the difference with steam is they don't have upvotes and downvotes, they have "helpful" and "funny". sure some people don't use them properly, but it's something. Maybe it would help Lemmy and reddit to bring in a funny vote too if you're just looking for some laughs.

True, that could be helpful but I don't have enough faith in the average person for it to work out well tbh. I'd love to be wrong though!
