I’m not asking for votes to be disabled, just an option to hide the numbers when viewing posts/comments/etc on my own screen.

I’ve been using this option on Lemmy and I like it a lot

I think it helps prevent preconceived notions if I don’t see a score (up or down) before I even get a chance to read the content

opt-in of course, so only those who want to hide scores can enable the feature

    Maybe posts and stuff could just have a temperature (since we already use “Hot” lol).

    If the responses are mostly +1, the post is initially Warm, and eventually just Hot. If the votes are mostly -1, then it’s Cool or Cold. I’m not sure how fine-grained this needs to be, but maybe 5 steps good enough. Hot warm room-temp cool cold lol.

    I definitely don’t need to chase dopamine points, but I do appreciate knowing the community response to stuf. And it’s fine to keep the exact number of up or down votes public, just put it under the Activity page under More, I just don’t need it front and centre.
