Because we all want to be liked 😊
When you have more upvotes, “forget about the haters!”
When you (probably) were an asshole, “think about the people who do agree! You’re not alone!”
I prefer to always see both numbers.
I hide both
Wow, that exploded. It’s now at -47.
It’s ok, I can tell you. Your comment currently has 10 upvotes. Check in tomorrow for an update.
Size is what’s important, direction is meaningless.
100 upvotes, hell yeah
100 downvotes, hell yeah
50 upvotes, 50 downvotes, hell yeah
0 votes, aw man
If size is important, i’d rather have 1 really big upvote than 100 little ones.
You fool!
How can 1 big vote ever compete with 100 little ones, there are simply too many. Like a swarm of ants
Would you rather fight one horse-sized upvote or 100 duck-sized downvotes?
Gimme the horse!!!
How hard I slam my left mouse button on a vote should be graphically represented.
Oh yea 0 votes is so sad… I wonder if federation is broken or I got shadowbanned or something…
I think the thing is not about the score, its just an affirmation that, yes, someone in the world did hear you and you didn’t decrease the lifespan of your keyboard for no reason…
But I’d rather have a “read by [X] Users” stat that is neutral, rather than a negative stat like a downvote…
Getting downvoted feels like when you were in K-12 school and the entire class bullying you
I am frequently baffled by what people here downvote.
No I don’t care at all
