In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, No campaigner Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said the gap in outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people was "more about place than race". Is that correct?
Fair enough. I suspect vote scores are a key influence over the way people perceive a comment before they’ve properly read it, so I disable them wherever possible. That way there is less possibility for my opinion of the quality of the comment to be influenced by something other than its content.
Yeah, that’s a fair way to do it if you find it works better for you. I find the vote scores a good indication of how the community is behaving - or being brigaded - and I always evaluate them in that light. It’s like if someone says something in a crowd and the reaction is either “woo” or “boo” or “…”, you can use that to read the room. I like vote scores for that reason.
Hide comment scores, it will massively improve your experience here.
I didn’t say it bothered me, it’s just interesting that people will do this. If I hid comment scores, I wouldn’t know.
I am fairly dedicated to not allowing social media metrics to colonise my mind to the extent that I let them affect my mood.
