Today I learned that one can easily look up a user's voting history.

Go to https://lemvotes.org/
Select User, drop their handle there, and run the report.

After I looked up my stalker, ... (I love you and your attention, plz keep it up!) ... I looked up myself.
I'm very happy to find that I've almost entirely upvoted. And yes, I went on a couple sprees and downvoted some crap. That's kinda ugly to look at now.

It made me think about how I behave here. You know, in that its so damn easy to see.

And back to the question at hand. What's your upvote/downvote percentage?

Are you a Lemmy Shitbird?

EDIT ... The author of lemvotes posted about it here.

    Damn. I don't know much about it. It might be running on somebody's old Pentium in out in the shed.
    I hope I didn't just cause it to be flooded. That sux.
    Maybe someone that knows more about the site will pop up w/info.

    If I just did a bad thing, I'll take this post down. Not sure what's up yet.

    I very rarely vote in either direction and yet this thing is saying I have exclusively down voted everything I've ever just LOOKED at. Including this post.

    My imprecise handcounting led me to count ~85 downvotes out of ~28.5K total.

    I try to keep to the netiquette of only downvoting if it’s truly unconstructive, rather than a dislike button as much as I can.

    I copied it, pasted into metapad, find and replace "M /n" so its one line per record, and then got linecout.

    linecount/2 would have made a lot more sense.
    I dont always make sense.

    It shows me having given a ton of downvotes I didn't give, on comments I only read and didn't up or down-vote.

    Only upvotes! I’m sure it has nothing to do with the instance I am on having downvotes disabled lol

    Funny, out of 1034, only 6 downvotes, 3 of them on my own comments.

    Same as with reddit. I so rarely down vote I can't even tell you the last time I did because like many of you don't do I understand the difference between disagreeing and not on topic.

    Aww, I want to see if my estimated ratio is correct. I think it is around 10:1 and am perfectly fine with any ratio tbh.

    I upvote posts at 23.1:1
    and comments at 24.2:1

    Weirdly, I know for a fact I've upvoted a number of posts today, but my search on this ONLY shows my downvotes?

    I definitely down vote more than I upvote, though. It's habitual to think "that is fucked up and really shouldn't be here," but a lot less habitual to hit an up on every mildly neutral to positive comment that, tbh, deserves it. It's eye opening to have all my downvotes laid out in front of me. Though still weird that the ups I know for certain exist aren't showing.

    Ok, I'm not sure what's up. The site is not new. (Well ... It's 2 months old.)
    It's an important resource. They will fix it.

    Thank you.
    Many users have questions about the accuracy of the report.
    Could you comment on that or point us to a tech doc?

    ....
    Tech doc here ... https://blog.gregtech.eu/posts/lemvotes/
    But the doc says they can't check a user's votes, the API doesn't exist.
    Well, that 'check user' feature is the whole reason for my post here today, so it appears Lena got past that. Their github looks like they made a major commit 3 weeks ago.

    I have added that feature but haven't written a post about it yet :P. I'll get around to it soon.

    I've reviewed your project and carefully considered the implications. I feel that you have done a worthy thing.

    Consider what has taken place here. Sure, I tracked down a stalker. That's the obvious use case.

    But the entire point of my post and the bulk of the discussion was about reviewing YOUR OWN behavior. People see their record laid bare, and feel exposed at first.

    Its good to realize that what you do on Lemmy is a matter of public record. Its good to realize that there could be consequences. You are not anonymous.
