if it wasn't spammy
Ah, I left this out didn't I? You're right. I don't really like spammy vote-fishing and I'll reply to these with a one-liner or not reply at all. I do try to reply to most comments to my posts, though, since I believe driving conversation is essential on a social platform.
As far as voting, I tend to be a bit generous with comments on my posts. Usually 20 to 35% upvote for thoughtful comments. I have a 10% on Threads.
There are 2 or 3 people who I can't tell if they read my articles. I'm guessing they skim. Half of their comments are regular comments that actually say something and the other half seem completely irrelevant.
