It’s a means of answering the question: ‘Does this add or subtract from the discussion?’
I like turtles.
Downvoted this purely for the lulz, I apologize.

For me it’s all about visibility.
I might upvote a bad comment with an amazing reply just to get the reply higher in the “Top” and “Hot” views.
I think a kneejerk reaction to reading something wholly wrong is to assume it doesn’t add to the conversation. I think we’re all conditioned to see someone we don’t agree with as clearly a troll taking the piss, rather than an opportunity to discuss.
Anyway, downvoted because it’s funny.
What is “/=/”? supposed to mean? Do you mean ≠ (not equal)?
Yes it is an alternate way of writing ≠ that I default to when typing on mobile. Thanks for the character tho, title updated.
Usually you would use “=/=” when typing it.
TIL, that’s what I get for teaching myself stuff. Thanks!
Could also go the programming route of !=

Yeppers, even better when you’ve got downvotes disabled
There is a rule about upvotes and downvotes in this community here.

There is, currently. It’s actually up for a community vote on whether to keep or get rid of that. If you haven’t voted, see the pinned post in the community.
