Hey @k00b, is there any reason why users can't see the amount of downvotes? Socials showed this for many years and then overnight, gone. Is there some law that prevents this? Other than that, a really elegant approach.

seeing downvotes is really toxic and could ruin the culture of this community
we can already ratio each other with upvoting other comment which is way funnier 😂

I can add that if we want it. But in general, I don't want people downvoting something only because they see that other people have.
It could create mob-like behavior, which might be why other socials remove it.

From my perspective, I'd rather the risk of mob-like behavior on my posts/comments in exchange for the information the number of down votes provides to me.
