Article context: instead of using the German budget, officials are exploring the possibility of using frozen Russian assets for future aid. So Germany isn’t cutting off all aid to Ukraine, as the title might induce. Regardless, this is understandably causing internal debate.

Unbait ttle: “Ukraine Gains Upper Hand in Electronic Warfare Against Russia”

In the ongoing conflict, Ukraine has effectively countered Russia’s electronic warfare (EW) capabilities. Initially at a disadvantage, Ukrainian forces have developed their EW strategies to successfully disrupt Russian electronic operations, crucially affecting the course of battles. The article highlights the significance of EW in modern warfare and underscores the urgency for the US military to revitalize its EW capabilities, drawing lessons from the Ukrainian experience.

You raise a fair point. Hiding downvotes could help avoid bandwagon negativity, as users may be less inclined to pile on additional downvotes. However, I still believe transparency should take priority over these concerns.

Showing the full picture - both upvotes and downvotes separately - allows users to more accurately judge content quality and community sentiment. I think we should trust users to make reasoned judgments, rather than hide data from them. A slight potential increase in negativity seems a small price to pay for maintaining transparency and accountability on Lemmy.

Edit: I do agree that displaying a relative percentage, as you mention, could serve as a compromise.

Thank you for the explanation ❤️

My hidden read posts in Sync comes back, when I refresh. Maybe a bug -_-

This missing feature is absolutely crucial for transparency.

Big tech industries are hiding downvotes, which obfuscates the true value of shared content in the eyes of the users. I was excited to see Lemmy natively going against this trend, and saddened to see that it’s not featured in sync (yet?).

Separated votes are a crucial Lemmy feature if you ask me. Hoping that this will be implemented as an option in Sync.
