Waking up every day and drinking that Hatorade.
If you don’t like anything on the the platform, why stick around?
Damned site doesn’t work on my account.
If only the OP linked the site instead of a picture
Cheers
if you are joking : HA, ha, ha (i am trying😆)
if you are being serious :- you will find that link in this (olorin…) other user’s answer, or
- you should learn about search engines … and, of course, your username checks out 😁
It appears to only partially work on Mbin. It got my upvotes but not my downvotes
You have to select “user” and enter the format exactly as shown. There are some servers that don’t work though. Yours should.
i did … the results are thousand times lower than reality !
I don’t believe it counts votes from instances that have defederated from lemvotes.
Hi, thanks for trying to find an answer. Though, i do believe it must be something else since :
all instances - - either linked or blocked - - from lemmy(dot)world, are listed here :
https://lemmy.world/instances
and there’s no mention of “lemvotes”.I think, the point was: you up-/downvote something on abc.xyz, but lemvotes is not federated with abc.xyz, then it doesn’t count that vote.
Don’t know if that’s any close to reality, though
Thanks for your efforts.
Unfortunately, given what i search and found, this is not a valid possibility.
I’ve been on Lemmy many years, made more than 100 posts and thousands of comments. My ↑&↓ are in the x 10 000.
List of votes for a_a@lemmy.world:
Total post upvotes: 30
Total post downvotes: 0
Total comment upvotes: 19
Total comment downvotes: 1
Oh weird

Context: This is the number of votes someone gave, not the number someone got from others.
And I like that.

That’s a great username
Considering how prolific a poster you are I expected higher numbers in every category? Or maybe this username is a new one?

Ok that tracks lol
… did I hallucinate you with a christmas-themed burner account, too?

I’ve definitely down voted some AI slop but damn do I look like a ray of sunshine
I tend to downvote hateful content and disinformation. So is it “hatorade” to downvote hateful content and straight up lies?
Though more often I reply back to tell people to tell them to try not to be so hateful and then I get downvoted. I cry myself to sleep every night when that happens :P
While you’re judging people, someone else may be judging you. If you’re motivated by upvotes maybe consider going to reddit?
This is the upvotes/downvotes they did on other people’s stuff, or others did on their stuff?
That the account did on other people’s content.
Wow…. They’re miserable.
On other people’s stuff

I mean… You have the options to upvote, to down vote and to not click a button. I haven’t seen 742 posts that were so terrible that I had to decide to down vote them.
Down voting other opinions just because they do not match mine brings useless negativity. I don’t think, we need that on Lemmy.

This is such pathetic shit to be upset about
If you don’t like downvotes there’s coms for that
Sometimes I miss old forums where content was brought back up by simply posting within the topic (though that lead to the annoying and incessant “bump? bump? bump?” posts on threads people wouldn’t let die, i guess).
Post voting is understandable as an alternative but it just leads to so much vanity as a result. Sites like this and reddit have so many dorks that are like “my fake internet points… how could you”. If it matters that much to you just shitpost all the time and you’ll get those numbers up

That’s how forums on Steam work and it makes them almost useless. The only posts you see are the rage bait from people farming Steam points from ‘Clown’ awards. Any meaningful post doesn’t get the same engagement as people trying to ‘slam the trolls into submission’ (FFS, how do people still not know you don’t feed the trolls?) so it gets pushed under all the bullshit.
Lemmy’s system is good because there is no account wide total, so it really doesn’t matter if one of your posts gets a lot of upvotes and another gets a lot of downvotes, it just means one was good and other wasn’t.
… And then you get people who really want some kind of account wide total for some reason so they go to websites that total up the number of times a user has given upvotes and downvotes…
You can sort by
new commentsto emulate that on Lemmy.Me too, it’s definitely had a fundamental impact on how people interact with each other online. But also, less page long flamewars is the silver lining I suppose lol

I don’t understand this post at all. Why does it matter what someone upvotes or downvotes? The upvote/downvote means literally nothing at all. Personally, even removed the ability to see the upvote/downvote thing on Lemmy with Mlem.
People place way to much sentiment on the whole up and downvote. That’s why Reddit just became a karmafarming place instead of actual (good) written conversation. Lets not do that with Lemmy. Also, this post could turn out quite bad and gets a unnecessary witch hunt started.
Why do boos and cheers matter in a crowd?
I do not know, you tell me? Anyway, it seems my particular comment got some people agitated. Did not expect to see people getting agitated over a single random comment and question.
Well if the crowd is booing you, it can mean you’re wrong, or that you’re bad at the thing youre trying to do, or that you’re performing to the wrong audience.
If the crowd is cheering you, they’re communicating that they like you or that you did good or that youre simply saying what they want to hear.
In the OPs case, where they’re pressing the down arrow way more than the up arrow, it implies that they’re in the wrong place as an audience. To extend the shitty analogy I started with, if I only love classic music and soft jazz, I’m not going to have a good time in a mosh pit. I should get out of the mosh pit and find a venue that plays classical music, instead of coming back every night and booing.
This assumes the user bothers with upvoting, which plenty of people don’t do. They may well downvote what they dislike, and don’t vote on what they do like.
Why do upvotes and downvotes matter? Is this a real question?
Reddit became the karma farming shithole it is because of their engagement algorithms.
Why do upvotes and downvotes matter? Is this a real question?
Yes, it is. Because on Lemmy, the down and upvote does not restrict your account (like how Reddit does it). From my understanding the upvote and downvote on Lemmy is more “upvote, so more users see it and downvote see it gets seen less”.
Which means if one person is trolling it and downvote but majority of users are upvoting it, it doesn’t matter much.

That’s one of the many reasons.
Also, you don’t sound very friendly and since your account is about 5 days old. I’m very skeptical of your comment and behavior.
They affect visibility. Exactly.
Skeptic away, friend.

glad Lemmy allows infinite blocking users. So welcome to the blocklist, don’t want to see unfriendly and unnecessary behavior from new accounts.___
I took an extended break from Lemmy but since I came back I’m noticing a lot more people announcing when they block other people. Can I ask why you felt the need to let everyone know you were blocking this person and/or what other social media you’ve used in the past? Like is this a twitter thing I don’t understand?
I have always done that to people who are unfriendly towards me. It also gives them a notice that I won’t be replying to their unfriendly behavior.
Never used Twitter/X so I have no idea how it is on there.
Though, I wonder why do I need to explain my reason for announcing to block someone but someone else being unfriendly or having a toxic behavior seems to be okay and is not questioned. What other social media have you used in the past?
I cut my teeth on Reddit, personally. A long, long time ago, I used a certain anonymous imageboard but I stopped when I finally realized that what were edgy jokes to me were actually pretty serious business to the worst kinds of people. When I block people I just… y’know, block them. They can scream at the void, it’s whatever. I don’t engage with trolls, because telling them off often encourages them. I’m not trying to antagonize you here, I was just curious because you’re the second or third person I’ve seen post a “get blocked loser” type of message in the past few hours.
idgaf about a baby’s opinion
bye felicia
In my experience down votes basically exist to justify psychotic power mods being able to block people they don’t like.
I assumed that moderators just ban people they do not like or at least remove comments. Blocking people that you do not like is helpful. Keeps your feed and comments section clean and brings less unfriendly behavior. I’m a huge fan of Lemmy’s blocking, it does not prevent the blocked person to comment but it does help the blocker to prevent seeing anything from the blocked person. Brings peace to both, one can simply comment and the other will not see it.
For me, they matter and don’t matter.
Opinion down voting brings useless negativity to Lemmy.
40 upvotes, 60 down votes is totally normal, but seeing a -20 can lead to the removal of comments, which I don’t like… Echo chambers are not what we need.
I’m on an instance that does not support down votes. That means, if one disagrees, they need to use their brain and write a comment.
Huge respect for anyone who does not down vote.
Opinion down voting brings useless negativity to Lemmy.
My own experience on Lemmy is that this has been happening more and more. It was not like that when the first Reddit migration happened. However, a year later and that kind of toxicity has started to arise.
It’s one of the reasons why I disabled the visibility of the votes. It also can manipulate on how someone thinks*.
Personally, besides the more technology knowledge on Lemmy… I find that Lemmy slowly but steadily adopts more and more Reddit behaviors in terms of user behavior.

Honestly that sounds great. It means people usually have to actually write why they don’t agree.
EDIT; something went wrong with formatting and copied text twice. Edited it to get it correct again.

i’m a grumpy man on the internet sometimes but damn i love upvoting shit. I display lemmiquette

I guess I’m not that grumpy.
