#3. Ask and answer things on Stackoverflow or Reddit. Avoid the walled gardens like Slack and Discord, they’re not public.
I have yet to observe evidence that votes correlate well with what I find interesting and/or useful in a question or an answer. (And there is lots that that is interesting and useful on Cross Validated and Stack Overflow!)
So I've come up with my own voting policy.
- I upvote all questions I answer.
- I upvote all other answers to questions I answer.
- I upvote all answers that I have enjoyed reading as a bookmark of a kind.
- I upvote all questions that have inspired an answer I find well written and thought provoking.
- I don't vote to questions or answers that already have 100 upvotes even if they are in one of the above categories.
- I never downvote. If I have an opinion about a post I'd like to share, I express it in words and write a comment. Or I use the moderator tools I have access to.
