    It is an influx of children that happened over the last few months. It is also admin failing to remove the primary half dozen people that represent 90% of all downvoting here as other admins have shared as happening from their panel view. This failure to act is the leading thing holding Lemmy back at the moment. The sad thing is that this server has not been kept up to date which is really bad for Lemmy overall IMO. The lack of action against the amplification of a few bad actors is further evidence of a sick system overall here and is very concerning.

        Does it not show any downvotes at all, like drops them and only shows positive, or does it show the general vote where the view can go below zero?

        I need to see the negative vote and stuff in 3d printing where I actually need to do occasional mod stuff. I would prefer if we all had the mindset that not voting or engaging is negative feedback just like in the real world.

        Personally, I want the duality of seeing every post and every vote where I’m a mod, but I want to drop all negative votes entirely everywhere else, like I don’t want the aggregate or total, I only want the positive because I never post in bad faith and I am more than mature enough to spot bad actors without any assistance needed from voting. IMO all anonymous negativity is a psychotic disorder and its implementation is sadistic nonsense that should not happen. It is no different than walking up to a stranger in the supermarket and cursing at them for the clothes that they wear or how they talk. Everyone has a right to be negative, but they must be required to engage openly where I have a chance to block them.

          I’m not an expert but I think we see just the positive vote. The worst takes will usually have 2 or 3 upvotes still.

          Have you tried using an alt to mod? That way you can have different settings on each account. Well, you would also need an account on another instance than LW, settings to display only upvotes appeared in 0.19.4 IIRC

            I use Alexandrite. Photon doesn’t work with my network settings in either the independent page or the LW native apparently because of JavaScript. I don’t use apps for anything like this on mobile and social is nearly 100% mobile for me.

              I just had a look, seems like Alexandrite isn’t up to date with the Lemmy settings. Here is what you can define on Lemmy default UI:
