Have you tried turning off voting for lemmy (lemmy.world)

I went through the options on the Lemmy and say you can turn off all any display of voting and even the icon for the voting feature. Has you done this? Has it changed your experience of Lemmy?

I've turned them off. For some reason my brain takes vote numbers really personally and not seeing them makes me feel freer to comment whatever I like. Also I think the text/replies should speak for themselves.

I decided to make an account on libretechni it's federated and it has no down votes just want to see how that works out
