Is it possible to only opt-out of viewing downvotes while preserving the ability to view upvotes?

This is what the mbin interface does by default.

P.S.: Not relevant to the discussion at hand, but interestingly when I use lemvotes on my main @kbin.melroy.org, it can only see the upvotes and none of the downvotes. It also doesn’t display my post downvotes from this account.

*bin only displays who upvotes, not who downvotes. That said this data is public in the ActivityPub stream rn as you say.

psssst the descunder “First” should probably be “or FOSS” instead of “nor FOSS”
