Honestly, reading comments around, remove display of up/down votes entirely, but keep the system and instead add two tags "Popular" and "Unpopular", both working on certain tresholds to both amount of votes and ratio of votes. Keep positioning mechanics with using votes to position content, but apply them only to tagged elements.

This way we enable discussion on most topics without problems and incentivise actually talking about topics, while still keeping the means to flag both bad will content and content most valued by community.

With Lemmy I'd say having minimum 50 votes total for comment and 100 for post sound good for total vote treshold, while having 75% of upvotes/downotes sounds good as a ratio treshold. But I am not sure on these, as I am honestly freeballin it right now.

Heck, leave the amount of total votes up to communities - some are bigger, some are smaller after all.
