I just started using voyager. It shows net upvotes (or downvotes) on a post. Eg, if a post had 20 upvotes and 5 downvotes, it appears to just be showing 15 upvotes, which is the net of the two. Is there somewhere I can see the separate vote counts?
I implemented this and am working on getting it merged. See https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/185.
I find that what is displayed affects how I feel and what action I am likely to take. When downvotes are displayed separately and prominently (e.g. lemmy builtin frontend) I am less likely to downvote a comment I find lacking as long as it appears to be in good faith, instead I will skip to and upvote other, better comments below so they “rise up”. When downvotes are hidden (e.g. Apollo and current Voyager) I am more likely to treat downvote as “disagree” to “push it down.”
Better yet…. Can we have the option to NOT see upvotes and downvotes?
I implemented this in the same pull request as the main post, and am working on getting it merged. See https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/185.
On this note, can we not have a karma total on our profile please? It’s bad enough I need to see the amount of comments.
I found this weird on desktop too. On straight mobile you see upvote downvote. On desktop I see only the difference. Tis a weird choice.
