[Poll] What should be Lemmy's default way of displaying votes? (take.quiz-maker.com)

We're adding the ability to customize this in the upcoming release, but I'm wondering what people think would be a good default.

The 4 pieces of showable/hideable info are: Upvotes, Downvotes, Score, and Upvote %.

In Jerboa, I had a temporary default (until the next lemmy release), of Score + Upvote %, but people seem to dislike this a lot.

I'll check back on this in a few days to see the result.

It will affect all lemmy apps, if they support this setting.

If the server's going to enforce this then I feel like the default should be total up and down, as all the others can be calculated from those two numbers by the clients. Other methods I would foresee be used by instances that somewhat wants to hide or fuzz the numbers, so that'd be an opt-in thing that defaults to maximum transparency.

Its a user-specific setting, not a server setting. And this is just a preference for the default, it'll still be configurable.
