This is something I feel like Mbin does well. It shows separate up and downvote counts, so instead of a post like this just having a single score where 51 could either mean 51 upvotes and 0 downvotes or 101 upvotes and 50 downvotes, you can immediately see “Oh, a third of the people who voted on this thought it was bad, something must be up.”
You can see this info in the Lemmy/PieFed interfaces (on desktop at least) by hovering the mouse over the point score, but the Mbin approach gives a lot more information to people who are just skimming.
Perhaps we should just call it misinformation. Thanks a lot for the context.
So 51 people upvoted this without any reflection. We need to get better than this.
Some people just read a post title, upvote/downvote and move on without even looking at the image. (Some people includes me too sometimes)
