MODERATORS
I like this perspective of yours, and while I don't think I'll join you on your instance (I take it this was an open invitation, yes?), I'll look into ways to hide votes on my client.
Although I do wonder, would you prefer everyone to return to long strings of "+1" and "agreed" posts?
Not in particular, but at least I could ostensibly set up a filter (or automod) that hid or removed low-quality comments like that. Removing downvotes is kinda the same effect.
I'm not saying voting should go away entirely. This instance still has upvotes, after all, but Lemmy will just turn into the cynical, pessimistic, self-fallating shithole that Reddit has become if we don't do anything differently as a community.
(And yes, it was just an open invitation—a reminder, if you will, that The Fediverse is a cool place where you have choices regarding how you experience it.)
