We're adding the ability to customize this in the upcoming release, but I'm wondering what people think would be a good default.

The 4 pieces of showable/hideable info are: Upvotes, Downvotes, Score, and Upvote %.

In Jerboa, I had a temporary default (until the next lemmy release), of Score + Upvote %, but people seem to dislike this a lot.

I'll check back on this in a few days to see the result.

I honestly love the way Alexandrite does the interface on Lemmy.world. I used photon for awhile too, but the way Alexandrite does voting made a positive overall experience that was more pleasant long term, (a.Lemmy.world & p.lemmy.world). Alexandrite simply ignores the down vote count and displays the total. Overall negativity is not clearly seen unless the count goes below zero.

Long term this makes a more positive overall experience across the spectrum of emotions in real life, especially for someone struggling through disability. The only way I would change this is to add a negative vote view in the ... extras.
