Isn't the thumbs up or down judging people?

yes judge
but only these 2 things
that you are in fellowship with God
the lost souls that need salvation
only these things are you to judge and to correct
all other judging is only to discern Good from evil

Why do people always ignore the command TO JUDGE???
1Corinthians 5:12 It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. 13 God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you.”
In context, judgment which scripture condemns is that done a) with evil motives; or b) with reference to an improper standard. The contexts make it clear that Christians are not to simply ignore what goes on around them.
Notice the context from the "Sermon on the Mount:"
Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
3 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
-- The teaching beginning in verse 3 about the speck and the log is in fact an ILLUSTRATION of Jesus' teaching about judging in verses 1 and 2. It explains something about the things we SHOULD JUDGE and HOW we should do it. Jesus does not say "ignore the speck..." but, "see well enough to deal with the speck..." Therefore, the teaching clearly is not to live with your head buried in the sand so you see nothing, but to be sure the judgment you do exercise is true and fair.

Neither really. If you judge you will be judged and if you do not you will not. Basically the same as if you point a finger there are four pointing back at you. Also the people who live in glass houses should not throw stones thing.

I don't judge you the word judges you and I agree with the word.
