  • It shows in some comments and posts, but not all.

    Yep, forgot to say that it only appears if there is at least a downvote.

    Does this affect how my account is viewed on other frontends or like how my account works? I mean I won’t enable it but I gotta ask now.

    Yes, it does. It affects how it is viewed in frontends that support the option “Show Bot accounts”. It regulates whether someone will see posts and comments from a bot account or not.

    I don’t think I really understand.

    I disabled all Show scores, Show upvotes, Show downvotes, Show upvote %, and I don’t think anything really happens. I mean I can still see them all (or some of them), and like now I have all of them enabled but I can’t see who downvoted you, what’s your upvote percentage and your score (although just as I said, this doesn’t happen to all) - I can only see how many upvotes you have.

    • Show read posts

    Read posts will not appear in your feed. Posts are read as marked if you upvote/downvote, open or comment in them.

    • Show upvotes

    Shows upvotes in the frontend

    • Show downvotes

    Shows downvotes in the frontend

    Can be overriden by instance setting Enable downvotes (when set to disabled).

    Can you clarify what you mean by “I can’t see who downvoted you”? Do you mean as in knowing the accounts that downvoted my comment or the count? Unless you’re a moderator in a community or an administrator, you can’t see the accounts that downvoted somebody. Community mods can only see them within content that is in the communities they moderate. Admins can see any.

    • Show upvote %

    Works like Show scores, but shows a upvote to downvote percentage instead. You will see a smiley face. Only shows up if there are any downvotes.






  • Switzerland has GNU Taler. They launched it there a few months ago, lucky for you. Check its website: https://taler-ops.ch/de/

    You just kind of need to wait for merchants to use it. Could become mainstream somewhere around 2028.

    From wikipedia:

    GNU Taler is a free software-based microtransaction and electronic payment system. Unlike most other decentralized payment systems, GNU Taler does not use a blockchain. A blind signature is used to protect the privacy of users as it prevents the exchange from knowing which coin it signed for which customer.

    The wallet is like cryptocurrency wallets in that when you lose it (lose your cryptographic keys or phone), you lose all the money inside of it. So you must keep it safe like your own physical wallet. It works with NFC, so it can replace Google Pay or Apple Pay or whatever.

    It also works offline, which is awesome. Though you do need to be online sometimes to refresh your digital money or they expire and become unspendable. The expiry is set by the GNU Taler operator.

    Do keep in mind that receivers are NOT anonymous. Only senders are anonymous. This is by design and is there to apply tax to merchants and also combat fraud, etc.

    You can learn how it works by reading their docs: https://docs.taler.net/

    The FAQ is also a good thing to read: https://www.taler.net/en/faq.html
