I saw that setting and switched it off, and now reading through others’ and my own comments is like walking on clouds. It’s great!
Should this be the default and make everyone’s lives here a tiny bit better?

You don’t have to see the scores of peoples’ comments. It’s awesome! But perhaps you don’t derive anxiety from those numbers, lucky you if so.
I guess I’m looking for verification if I’m in the majority or minority here.
I think it adds rather important context and allows you to “read the room” so to speak.
Look at their profile, particularly at their down voted comments and posts it, it explains why op wants this
If you’re looking for validation, then probably you want numbers on anyway!
(I leave them on, but don’t seek validation. I’m just around to talk and/or fight.)
Yeah, I think I might turn it off as well, it makes things a bit like a shouting match.
Yeah, I mean this might my personal deficiency that other people don’t have… but if I see a comment I disagree with and then I see that it has been upmodded heavily, I get a greatly increased urgency to shit on that comment to make people see how wrong it is. Totally toxic and encouraged by the scoring system.
For what it’s worth, the scores are rarely accurate, anyway, as not all instances sync scores with 100% accuracy, if they even sync them at all. Some instances don’t allow or even calculate downvotes. Your score can vary wildly from instance to instance.
It’s actually kinda funny to open up your comments in multiple instances to see what your scores are across communities. I’ve noticed that I’ll get heavily downvoted on some instances, but will see highly positive scores on the same comment from my “home” instance.
