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@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Cobe98@lemmy.world 3 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@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Isn't that what votes are for? lol

[–] L3s@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

What? 😃 Where does this come from? 😃 (Or am I just not getting the irony?)

Corresponding docs says they're upvote/downvote buttons: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html?#votes-and-ranking

(Update: Yup, I was just not getting the irony, lol)
