[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.

I remember when reddit removed the simple upvote + downvote and added "vote-fuzzing" and upvote percentage. Everyone hated it, but there was no alternative to switch to.

Also when YouTube removed the dislike vote counter to protect against corporations being ratioed.

My vote goes to simple displaying of upvotes and downvotes separately, with no total or percentage.
