Is RES' dv/uv feature any different from what Reddit offers natively?

I can't see it my self, I think the native one is more accurate.

The reason people were complaining was because the native one wasn't introduced until some time after RES's being forcefully disabled IIRC.

Reddit had a native upvote/downvote system since the very beginning. Are you sure you're not confusing it with something else? some other system, perhaps?

Oh, I mean the upvote/downvote display feature haha. I don't think RES changes upvote/downvote behaviour.

I see. Any idea what happened to the RES uv/dw display? Was it a cease-and-desist, or what's it called, from Reddit admins?

They changed the API. It now only provides total points (upvotes minus downvotes) whereas they used to be separate.

The RES, you mean? I remember this being introduced to Reddit natively, which caused quite an uproar. My question was - why did they change RES' API?

No reddit changed their API, which RES used to display the counts. Reddit only natively introduced the %upvoted on submissions. RES used to provide individual upvote/downvote counts on comments as well which is no longer possible.
