Lemmy is great! I haven’t had this much fun on a website since web forums were cool. The community is small enough that I’m making friends. There are folks that I consistently see commenting in my posts and in the threads.

And then there’s the folks I’ve pissed off. There’s at least one person going through my post history and downvoting. Now, I’m somewhat proud of this fact, and wouldn’t dream of blocking them … but is there some way to see who it is?

And … A general shout out to my fellow eviltoasters. Let’s see some more comments out there in the nerd /comms.
And and … Thx to our host. Let us know if you need help w/admin or $.

    Welcome first of all! Glad to have you here.

    Secondly, none of the clients I use show who downvoted your content, but I think the API has the information available to you if you make the raw calls. I could be wrong though.

      Ok. It’s perfectly alright if I never learn who my nemesis is.
      We are communicating. I clearly communicated something they didn’t like. I get the message. … And thanks for the welcome, my friend.

          Well, thank you! Now I just have more questions. I think I’m seeing replication lag between servers. But its fun to look at.

          Here’s a comment where I was a bit of a jerk.
          https://eviltoast.org/post/15515850/13211796

          I see 3 up and 5 down. I see this both in my login session and not logged in.

          When I run the report, it spits out this URL. When I go to that URL, I see the same 3 up and 5 down.

          But … lemvotes shows a whole page full of people voting for my rude comment, including the guy I was teasing.
          It shows only 2 downvotes.

          I’m still learning how Lemmy actually works.
          There’s something interesting happening here with how these votes are managed and displayed.

          …

          Hrmm… I just ran my own numbers. I’m relieved to find that almost my entire history is upvotes. That’s nice. I’m not being a shitbird for kicks. The downvotes I did make were mostly me being cranky. Its a good thing to get some perspective on.

          OMG. I broke their site. They needed to upgrade their host after I posted the link. People are arguing about it now in lemmy.shitpost. Lotsa fun.

    I may have tangled with a bot? Or a crazy?

    mriormro @ lemm.ee

    I count 161 downvotes made yesterday. That’s a lot of work for one day.
