Ok this got a chuckle out of me. But yeah, I don't see any problem with people expressing agreement verbally.

Imagine a real conversation where you're only allowed to agree with someone with nods, never saying "yeah I agree completely" or any other verbal feedback.

Imagine a real conversation

i am, and it's nothing like a comment thread on pseudo-social media.

imagine a comedy duo where one member makes quips and the other chimes in periodically with 'i couldn't agree more' and 'i came here to say this!'

penn and teller work well as an act because teller keeps his mouth shut.

i guess it makes sense from the perspective that lemmy is a community largely by and for former redditors. activity that's effectively indistinguishable from bots must make this place feel like home to some of us.

Lemmy doesn't need users to police comments. If they're against the rules, report. Otherwise, every comment is welcome here, and the little arrows don't even really do anything. That's what's so nice about this place.
