Clients that hide downvotes? (lemmy.ml)

30 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I’m searching around for a lemmy client to that has the option to hide downvotes altogether.

I don’t mind if downvotes are still counted on the instance side, i just don’t care.

But you need it to tell you if someone’s opinion matters?

I assume they want it to hide their # of downvotes from their self.

There’s the real answer!

I assume so from what they've said in this thread. Normally I'd say someone just needs to develop thicker skin but a lot of lemmings are perpetually online so I wish JoYo Peace, Pussy (or dick), and the soft touch of grass on a spring meadow morning.

Seriously though if you can't handle your opinions having downvotes, practice makes perfect. You shouldn't shelter yourself from downvotes JoYo, just embrace them and realize you don't need to prove your ideas to anyone but yourself. Look at my comment history, it's a mix of +5-50 and -5-50 (tbh mostly 0s and 1s). People will disagree with you in life, and the answer is not to go on the attack. Take the criticism and accept it or don't, and move on. But if you're getting constant downvotes, always, then there's a reason for it - probably the thing you're obsessed with and keep posting about. If you constantly post about MAGA saving us and the second coming here on Lemmy, you're gonna have a bad time.

Edit: their downvote ratio isn't even bad.

Oh JoYo, my sweet summer adult... conversation and finding common ground is what builds relationships.

Sorry for the long comment I was just saying what I gadda say in the first.
