But it is incredible the power those points have in our mind! Just now I’m being downvoted for a comment I did and I immediately felt the need to go there and justify the point I was trying to make. It took some effort to convince myself that I don’t care about that and that I don’t have to justify to those that didn’t understand my point.
Must confess, those points do seem to wield some strange power over my mind. Kinda scary actually. Some people have disabled those numbers entirely, and I’m beginning to see why.

Since 0.19.4 you can hide downvotes in your settings. Unfortunately LW still runs 0.19.3
if you’re using Voyager it’s a setting you can change to just show upvotes.
