What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I’m not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don’t see what the intent behind it is.

    It’s a convenient way to get people to not write angry rants when they can instead just hit the downvote button and move on with their lives feeling like they’ve shown the person they’re angry with what-for.

    Edit: The downvote button has now saved /c/asklemmy from four angry rants about how wrong I am. Good job, downvote button! :)
