Oh and, by the way, I got a severed sparkle head I want to get rid off. If anyone wants it, feel free to scream in the nearest void and I’ll answer back

      You can view votes for any post or comment at https://lemvotes.org/

      There’s some user on here who likes to occasionally make 6-10 throwaway accounts at a time and go through all my stuff to downvote everything. As if karma means anything on this platform.

        This must be a holdover from Reddit? Last week I was having a conversation when the user suddenly pointed out they’d accumulated upvotes where I hadn’t and therefore was correct. I was the one upvoting their comments for contributing to the discussion.

        When I pointed this out, they downvoted my comments haha.

          The one above in the screenshot? Probably not. I was mostly pointing out it wasn’t the expected user (beep).

          Personally I like that dude’s username. IcedRaktajino, nice Star Trek reference.

          There is one particular user on here tho I’m convinced is an alt specifically just for downvoting stuff (tho again, this isn’t Reddit, “karma” isn’t a thing here so it doesn’t matter). That’s almost mostly all this account does, downvotes about 30-50 posts in the span of an hour pretty regularly.

            Oh no no, just the concept of caring about ‘karma’, not specifically relevant to that previous screenshot. Only reminded me of the exchange I described.

            It’s not really occurred to me before that people make alts to manipulate votes here. I never saw karma as relevant even back on Reddit. I have some other accounts but mainly for when lemmy.world stops working. Seems quite narcissistic to spite vote with alts.

            I agree, it’s unrealistic any user would dish out three times more downvotes than upvotes. All on posts too, none on comments? Certainly an alt, your instincts are surely correct.

              Same, I’ve got alts for when world goes down, and recently made one on Piefed to see how different it was from Lemmy, but found the world one to be a bit slower. May try out .social. I’d heard Piefed is supposed to have better filtering for bot accounts, and some other features, but that may only be on the community running side.

        I don’t even know if lemmy got a karma counter (I use eternity as a client).

        But one thing for sure, downvotes aren’t going to make me go away. I do art because I like it. Not for clout.

        (But platforms that makes it hard to post do drive me away cough Pixiv tagging system cough)

      And if you moderate a community you can just click (in the default web UI, anyway) “view votes” to see whodunnit. You don’t even need an external tool. It’s good for finding downvote brigade people and so forth.
