Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’m not even knocking or shaming, I just think they’re really funny and want to see more if you know of them. Not accounts that downvote, accounts that ONLY downvote. Rare ones. Like weapons-grade haters.

I’d collect them in my user tags. And like, just observe what they respond to.

    I’ve heard that! That’s actually one of the main reasons I haven’t switched, it sounds very neat but I feel terrified of having it evaluate me. I don’t always downvote based on “I don’t like this” or even “I think this should be ranked less visible”. But it might still look like I’m being a dick in a vacuum.

    That would mean that my downvotes haven’t federated somehow then. I definitely downvote stuff.

      Yeah I had assumed it wouldn’t necessarily have visibility over every comment you’ve ever voted on, but IDK enough about how activitypub works.

      I don’t think it’s worth worrying about being evaluated? As in, people with piefed are evaluating you regardless.

        it blocks your ability to downvote and ads flags to your account if it deems you ‘negative’.

        so it actively punishes you if you downvote too much, or if you get downvoted.

        there is a little red ‘warning!’ flag that gets attached to your username.
