Have you tried turning off voting for lemmy

Thank you for the explanation!
-
I'm sorry I didn't mean to imply I didn't support the non-binary among us, that was bad phrasing on my part. Of course I support their right to be who they are.
-
Totally understandable, just was pointing it out.
no worries -
Transsexual is an old, negatively coded word. Transgender is the preferred nomenclature.
It was a derogatory term that implies that being transgender has something to do with sex and not an expression of gender.
Asexuals, who are disinterested in sex, can be transgender. Calling them a "transsexual" implies that there is a sexual expression happening.
When you express your gender (whatever it is), do you feel like you are being sexual? I would wager most don't think they're being sexual simply walking around being who they are.
That's why the term for non-trans people is "cisgender" not "cissexual."

I decided to make an account on libretechni it's federated and it has no down votes just want to see how that works out
-
Personally, I'm not offended when referred to as '-sexual'. In general, I don't see my gender as an important part of my identity. I guess I'm 'just' cis male but I don't see that as restrictive in any way.
But thanks for your explanation! Good to know that there's a negative connotation tied to that term and other people might be offended. I'll try to keep it in in mind for future discussions.

That would be a really cool feature

Sometimes that's just the up/downvote train. Sometimes people will just see the first couple of comments in an argument and just downvote/upvote alternatingly. Despite the idea that the votes are usually for what contributes to discussion, and not agree/disagree votes...

Speaks for itsef!

I'm using an app called Thunder and I have voting turned off for posts. For threads I have an up vote arrow when the comments are expanded, but if I collapse them I can see the count, which kind of does what you're asking? No idea how I managed to get that configured though.

Already exists. Go to your user settings and deselect show upvote and show downvote scores.

I was referring to the commenter's last sentence
