I’ve been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it’s actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I’m glad we have that here.
It was a scandal when it disappeared from YouTube, but I didn’t realize it was missing from Reddit too for much longer!
Indeed, in the User Settings (or replace with your instance), just uncheck the “Show Scores” checkbox. You can still up and downvote things but no scores will show anywhere. It’s nice.
