On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you’ll get the info.

I personally find this to be a good things, I’ve seen people using downvote way too easily. I like the idea that we need to be somehow accountable for those mechanism.

edit: It could be somehow improved to have an option to let this info only available between concerned users.

edit edit: I think that up/downvote info shouldn’t be public, but kept private between the users involved. we need to address this privacy issue.

    Oof. It feels like every new social media platform insists on replicating the mistakes of their predecessors. You’d think by now there would be an established body of design patterns for social media. This looks like it might be relevant, even though it’s quite old now.

    edit: it’s also interesting that only downvotes count for “reputation points”, so anyone who raises their heads above the parapet in a contentious thread is at risk of instantly having a negative reputation [edit 2: QED]. I have no idea what effect that will have though…

      kbin does let you hide your own followings and magazine subscriptions, so my guess is it wouldn’t be hard to implement hiding your up/downvotes. Ernest the developer is almost certainly more concerned with handling site traffic and stability first, but you could always add an Issue to the bug tracker.
