feeling like a third wheel reading all about the +1 and ++ comments... i have nooooooo clue what's up with this topic :P

You see on the left of rants and posts there is:
++
#
--
People who have signed in can tap on ++ or -- (they used to be +1 and -1) and that "score" will be the number shown!
If you think a rant is good then tap the ++ button and vice versa!
Welcome to DevRant!!!

So far it's not on the web version. Only the apps.

@Jack yes, the app just updates and changed to this. it used to be +1... thanks for the heads up, tho :)
