I tend to upvote a post when it Links an interesting article or provokes an interesting conversation, and only downvote them when they voice an convectively bad opinion (like, bigotry or other unjustified vitriol).

I tend to upvote comments when they make a good point or at least try to support their argument, and only downvote them for the same reason as posts: when they are trolling, being unnecessarily aggressive, or trying to justify bigotry with fallacious reasoning or something

What about you?

      Sometimes it’s not worth arguing with ignorant users.

      In another thread I mentioned that lithium-ion batteries are allowed in checked baggage but to check with local regulator/airline rulings and laws.
      User responded that’s prohibited in the TSA (and by that extent every other air space operating entity).
      I responded with my local laws (Germany) and 2 air line guidelines saying it allowed and one saying nope.
      Good a downvote later on.

      Mind you I was a bit forward but still correct.
