I commented that I had switched to Firefox browser from a chromium browser and that I was still using it but really didn't like it and listed a few reasons why and got more down votes on that single comment than I'd ever gotten total on reddit. The condescending responses were something else. I almost deleted my account, like sorry, I clearly don't subscribe to the lemmy hive mind, so I don't belong here. I also don't have strong feelings about Linux, guess I should get fucked.
As long as you're not posting toxic stuff, you should just ignore downvotes because many people use them as disagree button instead of replying why they disagree with your points.
Additionally there's downvote bots. They can even stick around with you. You comment, and a few seconds later you've got 25 downvotes.
I've had people (on both Reddit and Lemmy) go through my post history and put their single downvote on every one of my posts. What the hell is the point of that?
Well, the good thing about Lemmy is your downvotes don't add up to some Karma like it did on Reddit. You're free to state your opinion in one post without having to carry it around everywhere.
The total score is appearently stored on your user somewhere in the database but not displayed... Someone said. They lied?
I would assume it's a hard thing to implement reliably in a system such a lemmy. You could just spin up your own instance and give yourself a ton of points if you really cared for the numbers.
That's true... I wonder how it handles downvotes and upvotes on comments or posts, they are also replicated right? What if some instance goes into the db and changes those numbers?
Then it's only changed on their instance. They'd need to create fake users and send votes for them. At that point others should be able to detect it as botting, at least if the impact is big enough.
I use Summit for my reader and it keeps a total post/comment score. Seems extremely inaccurate though
You can do local counts as the instance owner can see that but afaik the who voted doesn't federate. Might be wrong I need to go back through the docs.
I read that you can see who voted on kbin, so it should be federating for that to work
Kbin is different to lemmy but activitypub only shares certain data. Looking at the tech info the primary server only shares the count to the federation but would know who directly liked it. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#liked
Again, without testing on my own server it is hard for me to say with 100% confidence.
You can always go through someone's comments and add up the scores
Sounds like a fun job... :)
If you were on a linux or heavily privacy focused community, that'll do it. I don;t mention that I use windows, I just say I'm looking into the swap to linux.
Which is weird because majority of the gaming and corporate world runs on Windows. I dual boot my systems so I have both available.
You can tell you're perfectly in touch with the Lemmy use base by how your comment claiming they all are evil and hate you is upvoted a lot.
Reminds me of the "Everyone on reddit is a fucking moron" style posts and comments on reddit that would have like 10k up votes lol. I think the reason for it is everyone thinks they're the exception
Reminds me of the time I got downvoted for saying that I'm not going to pre-emptively leave Chrome due to their plans to make adblock stop working until my adblock actually stops working.
What? Off with your head!
I posted a link in [email protected] about how mozilla had ruined firefox, damm got a hell lot of downvotes and a bunch of comments who hadn't even watched the video going 'hurr durr google baddd'
Probably because mozilla didn't ruin Firefox. Like at all. And the alternative is chrome which supports a global spyware system whose goal is ad revenue at the expense of the concept of privacy.
Whoops my bad this logical argument is invalid because I'm simply "hurr durr"-ing
Sorry that you feel that way but I can't see why after checking out the comment. It has downvotes yes. But there's only 1 out of the 5 replies that I could agree is condescending. And it's at the very bottom. The other comments seem to be trying to be helpful (because your experience with firefox can easily be fixed). How would that make you almost delete your account? Unless I'm looking at the wrong comment.
Firefox not having tab grouping native on mobile is the sole reason I won't switch from chrome, i run adGuard as a vpn anyway so nothing google is doing will affect me.
But also - 20 is rookie numbers, i think i broke -400 on one of my reddit comments years ago, I don't even remember what I said, I don't think it was even political as I lean pretty left.
