I remember Reddit used to have the ability to show both upvote and downvotes. I miss that feature.
Lemmy has this feature which is really nice... -20 points doesn't show +20 and -40. It mentally feels a lot better to know that 20 people agreed with you even if more people disagreed
Terrible news: you actually can get the breakdown, including who voted up or down.
I often wonder if that is the reason Reddit dropped it, to make controlling and influencing the user base easier? A joke example, seeing +100 to -99 votes regarding the sacrilege or glory of pineapple on pizza is a lot different then just +1 or -1
Reddit's shadow ban system is another part of why I don't trust them. Plenty of times I've seen posts where metadata says there are multiple comments but instead its empty without even the
[deleted by reddit]trail. Could be just their distributed database taking its sweet ass time to become consistent or maybe those people are on some sort of shit list?For myself I know I keep saying something that results in me getting some extra attention from an LLM because I keep getting sub 30 second instant bans and warnings for ambiguous comments that sound threatening but aren't. I lost a 20 year old account because of the comment "We should never have killed that fucking bear" being determined as advocating violence.
I kept getting shadow banned constantly. My comments ending up with 1 view no up or down votes. For completely arbitrary reasons as well. And I got completely banned from a few communities by accidentally using extremist terminology (?).
And yes I don't doubt they removed it for a reason, it makes it a much less friendly place. Like you're putting down and directly affecting the other person rather than just disagreeing. It's hard to explain.
That's similar to how I learned about Reddit's stance on punching Nazis.
