Frankly i'd prefer all of it to be private, but there's merit to both sides.

re:drama-causing, i'm also removing downvotes from my instance in dev for the same reason. I do think some version of muting has value, though - but kinda feels like it should be a tool earned, similar to HackerNews (they have downvotes, but only after a certain amount of earned "karma").
