I like that profile view in lemmy does not show the total "score". So when someone downvotes your comment, they downvote just that, the comment, not you. Which I think is good for mental health.
Speaking for myself, I feel that possibility of getting downvotes makes me more careful to not invoke negative emotions in others and instead keep more positive tone. In the long run that may be good for everyone's mental health as well!
