Should "show scores" default to off? (sopuli.xyz)

I saw that setting and switched it off, and now reading through others' and my own comments is like walking on clouds. It's great!

Should this be the default and make everyone's lives here a tiny bit better?

If this isn’t giving you any pleasure, why read/comment at all?

I'm getting pleasure (or something) from the discussion, not from the numbers. I'm getting anxiety and toxicity from the numbers. And I'm not claiming that everyone else is or should be like me in this or most other ways.
