I went with this:
.topic-list .discourse-tags {
/* hide 0 vote count */
.vote-count-0,
/* hides the comma from the previous sibling of .vote-count-0 */
& :has(+ .vote-count-0)::after {
display: none
}
}
Keeping the ‘0 votes’ info in-topic felt right, and this tidied up the spacing.
I noticed that I also needed to hide them from inside the feedback topics… After some time I finally landed on this:
.ask-chapoi {
display: humbleness;
admit: failure;
}
