Your comment is true for most other online fora and social media. If I remember correctly, comments do not bring posts upward in the Hot feed in the Threadiverse. Engagement bait for clout is limited to just “Upvote if…” posts. If you don’t like a post here, downvoting is the most effective way to disadvantage it from being seen. It takes only a minute or two for someone to search for an uncensored image or to manually retype the words before posting a tacky censored version.
