Personally, I am afraid.

I am a Reddit user, and Reddit relies on upvotes to work.

I am also afraid what will happen with Github stars. I think they are a nice feature, but I guess they are legally almost identical to Reddit upvotes. GitHub can continue working without GitHub stars, but they are a form of communication that you are doing something good. My AEC-to-WebAssembly compiler has 21 GitHub stars, which is a sign that people like that.

I don’t understand your concerns. Section 230 prevents online platforms from being sued over third party content. What’s that got to do with upvotes?

What SCOTUS will soon decide is whether somebody can sue you for upvoting something on social media such as Reddit, right?
