Are the "Upvote" and "Downvote" buttons "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons?
Are the "Upvote" and "Downvote" buttons "Agree" and "Disagree" buttons?
Because to me, they seem like de facto "Agree and "Disagree" buttons, whether or not it was the intent.

"Agree and “Disagree” will just leave us in a Lemmy bubble.
They should be more about "good post or bad post", so something that may be disagreeable gets upvotes if it is well stated.
Reward thought, creativity, etc, and let us all learn.

Downvoted

Agreed.
- Upvote: Adds to the community.
- Downvote: Doesn't belong in this community.

That would be nice but, no, it's the agree/disagree button just like Reddit. There is honestly very little difference between Lemmy and reddit. Mostly just the numbers.
-
When you upvote a funny comic, does that mean you agree with it? Do you agree with cute cat pics?
It is more than just agree/disagree.

It wasn’t meant to be an agree/disagree button on Reddit either.
It’s meant for upvoting posts that contribute to the topic/community and downvoting stuff that doesn’t, such as spam or trolling.
-
People get emotional over a comment and click the downvote as it makes them feel empowered, that's how it always ends up. Maybe just having upvotes only would work better.

Upvote only doesn't necessarily work better because it encourages controversially good content rather than unambiguously good content

Yep. Didn't work out that way though just like it didn't work out that way here
