Have you tried turning off voting for lemmy
I went through the options on the Lemmy and say you can turn off all any display of voting and even the icon for the voting feature. Has you done this? Has it changed your experience of Lemmy?
I use Lemmy a lot to debate or read other people's perspectives. While content is more important than the vote count, I'm still interested to see what are (un)popular opinions here (knowing that it definitely doesn't represent the general public!).
Unfortunately, seeing the votes immediately also increases your bias towards posts or comments, so it may have a negative impact on on your individual free thinking.
An ideal compromise for me would be to see how other people voted, but only after I voted myself.
I'm using an app called Thunder and I have voting turned off for posts. For threads I have an up vote arrow when the comments are expanded, but if I collapse them I can see the count, which kind of does what you're asking? No idea how I managed to get that configured though.
I've turned them off. For some reason my brain takes vote numbers really personally and not seeing them makes me feel freer to comment whatever I like. Also I think the text/replies should speak for themselves.
im taking a shit
Speaks for itsef!
Kinky.
I decided to make an account on libretechni it's federated and it has no down votes just want to see how that works out
I chose blahaj not just because I support our trans brothers, sisters, and non-binaries, but also explicitly because it does not federate downvotes.
There's a massive difference in how it feels to only see upvotes alone.
If you consider upvotes but ignore downvotes wouldn't that give you quite a weird picture in case of controversial posts? Assuming there's a racist or transphobic post with 100 downvotes and 5 upvotes, would that be displayed as +5? Or does it not show any votes at all?
I like the idea of an instance not having down votes that way. I assume that you could go to another instance and participate and no one could down vote you
Why No supporting us non binary trans people :'(
