It’s very nice to see that X people liked a post/comment and Y people disliked it instead of just having a singular “goodness/badness” rating. It (literally, in a mathematical sense) adds a whole new dimension to post ratings and gives us a more nuanced understanding of people’s opinions. Plus, it feels a lot better to see that 5 people agreed with you and 7 disagreed when you made a controversial statement instead of just seeing a score of -1 telling you how bad you are.

    I’m using Voyager, as the community name suggests the OP is. Using the AppStore version on iOS which may make a difference.

      You should have an option. I’m not on iOS. But try go to settings > appearance and there should be a Votes section that lets you pick separate.
