    Yeah i’m pretty sure our number is literally just the upvotes number, without downvotes being taken into account at all. Like I know lemmy will have upvotes 5, downvotes 2, and then the number at the top will be 3, but for us I’m pretty sure what we would see is 5 at the top, with no acknowledgement of the downvotes.

    Yeah after we decided to do away with downvotes I was a little skeptical, but ultimately I think it was a great decision and has made the online experience so much better

      The only thing I find it useful for is seeing how many libs read just enough of a comment to find out I don’t agree with them. Which isn’t super useful at all tbh.
