Are there any statistic on how insightful/fun votes are being used on this site? Personally, I've noticed that even on meme or funny subs things tend to be voted insightful instead of funny. I assume this is because the positioning mimics reddit's up/downvote system.

I would say they're used pretty frequently in the correct way. Have a look here: https://saidit.net/fun/ and you'll see that people vote funny things as funny.

Also remember you can vote something as both funny and insightful at the same time.

sometimes i catch myself using it like how it is a downvote or upvote on reddit but I don't mean to do that on purpose, like I will then hit the funny button again to reset it

This here made me chuckle. Have a Funny. (Umm... doesn't sound quite right. Might take a while getting used to the new terms)

I suppose so. Realistically it's no stranger sounding than say an upvote, downvote, reblog, retweet, .etc.

Since the rebranding, they're now "interesting" and "fun". So you can say "have a funvote" – slightly better.

It's still insightful, interesting got vetoed

It's now "interesting". When did it change and why? I'm not against the change, but didn't it get vetoed?

It did afaik. Where do you see "interesting"?

Oh, so it is. Right on the screen there. I need to work on my reading comprehension.
