Fair. I was not clear above, but, by “in the same way that one can currently activate a feature to hide the names of users”, I meant that karma could be invisible by defaul if the feature is activated, but then show up once one hovers over the karma placeholder.
A thought I want to leave for posterity and because I just linked this conversation to someone: I really would like the comment hiding to also hide agree/disagree votes. I’m nervous about people feeling more pressure to disagree-vote in this world.
Also while I’m at it I should note that, as evidence of the feature being under-baked: someone reported it to me as a bug 😅
If I were defending my past decision, I’d say that you’d probably hover over the usernames after reading and before you reply.

Ah, I see. I don’t hate that at all.
