It’s freeing in a way, I don’t have to do any extra processing in my head, and I can just see the posts and comments for what they are. You should try it too!

    nooo you’re gonna make the downvote bullies feel all powerless, how could you!

    Anyway, since this topic is back on let me get back on my soapbox:

    comment score should be hidden by default, while the algorithm still works behind the scenes. This prevents dogpiling and karmafarming (even though karma doesn’t do shit on Lemmy, but this could change in the future I guess) and would make for a more comment-centric experience instead of vote-centric.

      I fully agree with this. There is no reason except for hive minding to have scores enabled by default.
