Comment on YSK: You can disable scores (upvotes and downvotes) in lemmy, and I think it's great!

I dunno, it isn’t universally beneficial.
Votes, particularly down, can have a cooling effect on assholery.
Voting is faster, and people are lazy. So there’s a tendency for people to just vote and scroll on. Remove down votes, and you get more snark if mods don’t intervene.
It’s kinda hit or miss though
