One of them was a mod gone rogue which I hadn’t realized at the time. The ban eventually got overturned and the mod was booted.
One of them was a new probable troll com with a sole troll mod. It was a new community so I was still willing to give it a chance. So that one…yeah, you’re probably right, I probably should have just blocked the com, but I was still giving it a chance.
I’m loose with downvotes but avoid blocking coms if I can.
Here and there I see people complaining about the things you detail in the comments, and sometimes out of curiosity I check that person’s attitude, and every single time it’s been pretty miserable.
Lo and behold, your current attitude sits at 46%, meaning (as I understand it) that you’re downvoting more often than you’re upvoting. My question is: what are you even doing here if you’re so obviously unsatisfied by so much content on the Fediverse? And is it maybe time that you found a social media site that better fits your likes…?

That seems like an oddly precise number.
I definitely upvote more than I downvote. It shouldn’t be surprising that in a conversation about getting banned for downvoting that the discussion would focus more on the downvotes.
Over there on Lemmy.World, what happens when you hover your mouse over another user’s name? Does a popup card of info appear after a second or two?
In any case, that’s what appears using PieFed software, which is where the 46% number is listed. And yeah-- for sure it’s a precise number, exactly calculated from your upvote / downvote ratio.
I can also see such info (and more) if I go ahead and click on another user’s ID, but the popup box is certainly handy for not needing to do that.
Okay, but can you see that number if you click on your own user page?
At this point I’m thinking “attitude” isn’t actually generated by Lemmy, which would explain why you can’t see it.
As for how it’s calculated, the PieFed author (Rimu) says this:
There is a similar and visible stat that every profile has, which is ‘attitude’. That is the ratio of upvotes vs downvotes they cast. It can be helpful for spotting nasty people or those that engage in vote brigading.

Interesting - I pretty much exclusively browse Lemmy on mobile with a third party app. That number is surprising though…🤔

This is all I see. If I click into Upvoted and Downvoted it just lists the posts and comments I’ve up/downvoted. It doesn’t show counts.
Okay, that settles that.
So from your end, you might possibly consider that I’m just making the whole “attitude” thing up!
