"Lemmy does not have upvote and downvote buttons"

uh... don't downvote me for posting this

It's been a long time since Lifehacker has been reliable for even basic facts.

What? I see and use upvote and downvote buttons in Jerboa. In fact I just updated your comment.

[–] L3s 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Are you talking about these things? Those are escalation arrows, not upvote and downvote buttons, totally different.

it causes the device of the poster to operate at 1°F higher or lower, depending. (up= lower temperature)

But I'm european, I don't believe in °F

[–] IanM32 4 points 1 year ago

Well then they shouldn't affect you one way or the other!

[–] L3s 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Well for starters, they escalate things

Ah, how could I have forgotten to include the all-mighty de-escalate *button

edit: arrow*

[–] Cobe98 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes. That's what I see. I had no idea it wasnt upvote/downvote as I use jerboa.

So the escalation arrows just push a comment to the top?

[–] WassupDoc 10 points 1 year ago

Isn't that what votes are for? lol

[–] L3s 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, they escalate things to the top of the page.
