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?

For what it's worth, the scores are rarely accurate, anyway, as not all instances sync scores with 100% accuracy, if they even sync them at all. Some instances don't allow or even calculate downvotes. Your score can vary wildly from instance to instance.

It's actually kinda funny to open up your comments in multiple instances to see what your scores are across communities. I've noticed that I'll get heavily downvoted on some instances, but will see highly positive scores on the same comment from my "home" instance.
