Comment on I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

2 small theories as to why this could be:
-
Down vote count is shown. On reddit, a down vote, unless it put total karma from a comment into the negative, was imperceptible. I felt less bad about abusing the functionality and downvoting opinions I disagreed with
-
Lemmy is a lot smaller than Reddit. Whereas on Reddit I might see a low-effort post and go “get this garbage off my feed” on Lemmy I’m like “YEAH! Way to populate my feed!”

You can also see exactly which user downvoted a post, it’s in the log.

Normal users can see it?

Yes.

Won’t find any downvotes from me, cuz I post from Mastodon. I kinda like it that way anyways. If you post something I don’t like, I’ll just have to get over myself.
