Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.
Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn't even show you your total upvotes (karma... whatever it's called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.
So why don't you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.
I know I have.
(Lemmy is rad as fuck)
Oh neat, thanks for sharing!
I don't actually care about downvotes or upvotes for comments (for posts, I'm generally trying to make communities laugh, so I do like them there to refine my approach etc.)
I'm more just... Well, it's Lemmy, some of the replies are, uhhh, impressive and heartbreaking (not because they're mean, it just makes me wonder about how we win a majority of votes while being associated with some goddamn crazy people.)
Anyway, really appreciate you sharing this, I'll probably use some of these settings!
