When you see something has too much up or down votes, does this change your point of view? Also how many people hides votes and etc?

Edit: also is there any eay yo disable scores like 100%😀 in voyager for lemmy?

    Usually, no. Not for myself or others. Too many people vote emotionally for them to be useful feedback in most situations.

    They also aren’t useful in short time frames on lemmy. I’ve lost track of how many people get whiny about votes, but they just didn’t wait for things to balance out. It’s lemmy, shit takes hours to spread and get seen, especially since not everyone sorts by new. Chill the fuck out.

    But sometimes, they can be a warning sign, or an indicator of a successful comment/post. And other times, they can help realize you posted or commented in the wrong place.
