    I wonder if we are better off not showing the number of upvotes/downvotes? Like, people can still upvote or downvote, but no one can see them except maybe the instance admins. Maybe collapse highly downvoted comments when they hit a threshold? I know one of the things the fediverse brings is karma doesn’t matter, so it shouldn’t matter especially since it won’t be the same depending on the instance you’re viewing it from. What do you think?

      It’s only obvious when users switch between instances, like log out of their account and log into another. In the 5ish months I’ve been here this is the first time I’ve seen it brought up, so to me it’s a non-issue. There are a thousand other more pressing matters
