    I don’t want to see “votes” because the result is that you or someone else says something controversial and have to see the sanity rotting negative number.

    I do however want to see a metric to see that an item is being engaged with though. Not sure what that should be.

      Beehaw has no downvotes but has upvotes.

      Kbin accidentally achieves a similar effect by not federating downvotes.

      So, you see all the upvotes but the only time you ever see a downvote is if someone else from kbin downvoted it.
