I wrote this Tampermonkey script to modify HN in two ways:
- Hide your comment scores
- Scramble your karma counters
This prevents you from knowing immediately when your comments have
been upvoted or downvoted. Your submissions are left alone.
Here's what that looks like: http://i.imgur.com/vPjC0uk.png http://i.imgur.com/vPjC0uk.png
To install:
1. Install Tampermonkey.
- Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgf...
- Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/
2. Click "Create new script": http://i.imgur.com/OycraO1.png http://i.imgur.com/OycraO1.png
3. Copy the contents of https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sillysaurus/4d917e925548e4c7ec6f6bb96c94ef5c/raw https://gist.githubusercontent.com/sillysaurus/4d917e925548e... and paste it into the new script.
4. Click the save icon in the upper-left.
Why?
HN downvotes sometimes feel like a slap in the face. This was ok when HN was small, since downvotes were used judiciously. Now that HN is very large, I find it's much more pleasant to browse HN with this script enabled.
- LinuxBender 9y agoThat is really cool. FWIW, one could think of downvotes as kudos for thinking differently.
