I know and I chose those two examples to illustrate that people will even disagree with stuff that is blatantly factual. So it just gets worse if you enter murkier territory, like politics or ethics where there is no firm factual basis.

I'm sure you won't have to search too long for a very well written post by some tanky about how a North Korean style dictatorship is superior to western democracy. Should you upvote it just because it's well written, even if you think the idology is insane and dangerous?

That would just be misinformation

Sure, according to us. But you don't actually need to be right to think you're right. If someone believes the earth is flat, they'll downvote "globe-talk" as misinformation, just as it was intended! So it all just comes back to (dis)agreeing.

They should be more about “good post or bad post”, so something that may be disagreeable gets upvotes if it is well stated.

I don't care how well stated some anti-vax or flat-earth bullshit is ... It'll get downvoted regardless because I disagree.

It really depends on where you use them.

In some communities I'll use upvotes as a way to track which posts I've seen.

In news communties I always downvote tabloid sources and clickbait headlines, regardless of content.

But when it comes to the comments, it's mostly an agree/disagree button.

Beiträge die in A/CH nicht zugänglich sind gehöhren eher nach !deutschland@feddit.org und nicht auf DACH.

I'll have to ask her. But I'd assume the first step would finding the nearest embassy of your country and ask them for help.

Not me, but my aunt and cousins were on holiday in Sri Lanka in 2004 when the tsunami hit. They managed to get to a higher elevation in time, but lost most of their stuff, including passports, as the place they were staying at was basically washed away.

He was wearing his plot armor.

The fact that you jump straight to "addict" and don't even consider causal users tells me that you know very little about drug use.
