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

      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.

        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!

            That’s a Piefed-exclusive feature. So only Piefed users can see it.

            Your observation is correct, though. You can use Lemvotes to look up any user here and you’ll see their upvote & downvote history. The user you’re replying to has downvoted quite a lot of posts and comments. Still mostly upvotes, but not an insignificant amount of downvotes.
