It seems Lemmy is as much of an echo chamber as anywhere else. Even when I agree with the hive I like to read differing viewpoints, but there’s no easy way to sort through them here. We can’t be well-rounded when all we see are the same opinions endlessly reinforced in discussions.
Better would upvote:downvote ratio. Sort by closest to 1.
But also most downvoted too would be good filter
That’s kind of the inverse of “confidence”, which is a requested feature for comment sort.
That’s what I was trying to say with “most-equal upvotes vs. downvotes”, but apparently my brain is mush and the word “ratio” wasn’t available.
