When you see something has too much up or down votes, does this change your point of view? Also how many people hides votes and etc?

Edit: also is there any eay yo disable scores like 100%😀 in voyager for lemmy?

    I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care.

    Its human nature, its encoded in our dna, in the past, social ostrization means death, so that feeling of “not wanting to get socially ostricized” persisted to modern day.

    Btw you can actually see who downvoted you with https://lemvotes.org/, to see if they are actually real users or just bots/trolls.

    I usually just assume any amount of downvotes between 1-5 to be bots/trolls. For upvotes, not getting upvotes doesn’t matter as long as I don’t get downvoted. I try to ignore votes, but like, my monkey brain just can’t stop being curious about the score. 🤷‍♂️

    There’s also that fear of weirdos start trying to dox you if they didn’t like something you said. Like “I dislike Linux” for example (not my actual opinion, but like imagine if someone said that, they’d get fucking downvoted to hell and stalked around the fediverse)

    As for other user’s scores: Seeing upvotes/downvotes on other user’s posts/comments does not really change my agreement/disagreement of their statements
