What are "points"? (lemmy.ml)

I noticed on a comment that I got 3 "points". Is it like upvotes?

There is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.

None of these imaginary points matter.

To be honest I find myself sometimes skipping comments which are down-voted to oblivion on other platforms.. :X. It doesn't help that the down voted comment also gets hidden. Sometimes they are rightfully down voted but other times the mass opinion is against OP's message which doesn't mean OP is necessarily wrong. Do upvotes even matter? They are just indicators of good/bad but that doesn't prove anything. It's up to the perceiver to declare.

upvotes minus downvotes

it only shows when it has more than 0 downvotes
