A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

this would probably cause its own problems as a design choice, but it's also not even possible with Lemmy without changing the underlying code (which is a whole ordeal) so that's not really on the table.
It'd be pretty trivial to hide upvotes on list pages and show a reply count instead. That doesn't seem like it would be a difficult feature for almost anyone to contribute to Lemmy and it would certainly change the incentives.
Also, it'd make it impossible to upvote from the list page which would be a good thing in my opinion.
