Do you care about up/down votes?

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?

  • uuuuh, yeah. I usually assume that if I get a lot of downvotes or a comment I agree with gets a lot of downvotes, then my opinion must be wrong.
    On the other hand, if something I am not sure about gets upvoted, then it's probably good. I trust others more.

    Probably not a good thing, but I don't trust myself with opinions. Though it's not completely black and white either. It depends on where it is, who's giving majority of replies, and some bit of reconsideration (e.g.: is it logical, is it harmful).
    But in the end, it does shape my opinions into what I believe is "more correct".

    Certain (more serious) decision-making for opinions may however take me 24 hours or even more. This helps me to balance out the effects of morning vs night-time emotional state, which differs more with lack of sleep. If even then I am undecided, the upvotes win it and I take it as my own opinion.

    • ive watch luke smith and he talks alot that we shouldnt be emotionally linked to social medias, hiding likes and etc might kinda help?
