i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

    2 small theories as to why this could be:

    1. Down vote count is shown. On reddit, a down vote, unless it put total karma from a comment into the negative, was imperceptible. I felt less bad about abusing the functionality and downvoting opinions I disagreed with

    2. Lemmy is a lot smaller than Reddit. Whereas on Reddit I might see a low-effort post and go “get this garbage off my feed” on Lemmy I’m like “YEAH! Way to populate my feed!”

        Won’t find any downvotes from me, cuz I post from Mastodon. I kinda like it that way anyways. If you post something I don’t like, I’ll just have to get over myself.

        Only on kbin afaik. Lemmy-UI has no way to display it.

        Keep in mind that anyone subscribing to ActivityPub events can see who voted for what and posted or edited. That’s how federation works.

          I think you can see logs on lemmy, I’m pretty sure I saw a beehaw log but I don’t know how to access them

            I feel like I have seen it somewhere but can’t find it either. I even looked over the lemmy-ui source code briefly.
