You post a wide range of other peoples content and links from other places.

Um, dude, I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Lemmy and Reddit are. They are a category of social media called "Link Aggregators", posting links to stuff is what you're supposed to do. News, articles, projects, blog posts, GitHub repos, random one off websites, YT/PT videos etc doesn't matter who made it. What matters is you think it's cool or at least think others will find it cool and you post it. That's it.

You're overthinking it way too much

"Republicans bad, gib upvotes now plzzzz" garbage.

Again, that's just been the last week or so and specific to [email protected] because that's what it's trending towards as a comm.

Who gives a shit about upvotes dude. Getting lots of fake Internet points isn't gonna get you any closer to being loved by your parents.

1, it's not currency, but it's not entirely useless. It's good for some metrics to judge how well something you post is being received. Not the best metric, but...it's the one we got lmao. And 2, there it is again the "judgy aggression"

Some of my highest upvoted posts had nothing to do with politics at all and were handmade

As far as reposting in general, I'll leave you with this:

In one of your comments you stated "I know everything on the internet isn't just for me", but it doesn't seem like you're taking that to heart
