It's been a long time since Lifehacker has been reliable for even basic facts.

What? I see and use upvote and downvote buttons in Jerboa

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Isn't that what votes are for? lol

[–] [email protected] 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)
