Almost everyone uses the upvote/downvote button correctly.

Just sayin'

From comments I've read in other threads some lemmy instances show the number of up and down votes respectively.

but what criteria is being used to judge whether those votes were correct or not?

I think it's something like:

Did they use it? If so, they did it correctly. If not, they also did it correctly.

!unpopularopinion

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

::: spoiler Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

:::

Guidelines:

::: spoiler Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

:::

Rules:

::: spoiler 1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

:::

::: spoiler 2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

:::

::: spoiler 3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

:::

::: spoiler 4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

:::

::: spoiler 5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
