Semi-related: This entire conversation has kind of wanted me to be able to see downvotes and upvotes tracked separately—I feel motivated to downvote the people who seem unnecessarily antagonistic to me, but I also very much want to see the upvotes showing solidarity with the complaint.
At present, they are. You can count the upvotes by looking at the point score. You can count the downvotes by saying quietly to yourself the number zero.
This doesn’t work for old comments, of course, because downvoting hasn’t always been disabled. Though if you hover your cursor over the net score it will give you a percent-positive figure, from which you can compute (provided it’s not 50% positive, and only approximately in some cases) how many upvotes and how many downvotes. It would be better if it said how many up and how many down rather than what percent positive.
Well, you could compute it by adding an upvote and seeing how much it changed. Not that it matters now that we’re on LW 2.0 and everything is different...
Yeah.

(Downvoting is currently disabled.)
Oh right. :P
