Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
2 small theories as to why this could be:
Down vote count is shown. On reddit, a down vote, unless it put total karma from a comment into the negative, was imperceptible. I felt less bad about abusing the functionality and downvoting opinions I disagreed with
Lemmy is a lot smaller than Reddit. Whereas on Reddit I might see a low-effort post and go "get this garbage off my feed" on Lemmy I'm like "YEAH! Way to populate my feed!"
You can also see exactly which user downvoted a post, it's in the log.
Normal users can see it?
Yes.
You can? Everyday I'm learning something new :)
Only on kbin afaik. Lemmy-UI has no way to display it.
Keep in mind that anyone subscribing to ActivityPub events can see who voted for what and posted or edited. That's how federation works.
I think you can see logs on lemmy, I'm pretty sure I saw a beehaw log but I don't know how to access them
Won’t find any downvotes from me, cuz I post from Mastodon. I kinda like it that way anyways. If you post something I don’t like, I’ll just have to get over myself.
