This may be an odd request but as it stands now there are at least two ways to upvote/downvote a post, either clicking the arrow buttons on the left side of the post or the big rounded buttons on the right side too.
I think for a very minimal, clean and simple look if you could add an option to remove/hide the big rounded upvote buttons. I normally tap the little small arrow on the left so the big rounded buttons take up space.
Please let me know if this is already being worked on or if it’s something you might consider to add in the future I’d greatly appreciate it.
I've grown a bit tired of the Xbox experience as well with some of what you've mentioned. I also don't play every single game that comes out, just a select few with whatever free time I do have. I want to get away from online gameing if I can, though I'm not against it my preferences are just shifting so I want to gravitate more to single player games and currently I'm considering the next Switch console (Switch 2?) and just play all the first party games Nintendo is known for, Zelda, Mario, Starfox, etc and all their retro games that'll be on the online store. I could get lost for years with that content. Really excited to possibly have that option for myself in the future. Just thought I'd share a different perspective.
