i’ve seen quite a few users with one downvote on every single comment for no reason and it makes me wonder if people are disagreeing, stalking users, or just a weird bot account.
Users with one downvote on every recent comment/post is usually some other user raging and being incapable of accepting other people’s opinions.
It seems off and on, I routinely have one downvote show up on every thing, including totally benign “hahah cute cat” type comments, or comments that are otherwise well received.
It started happening after I criticized Israel for genocide. (Specifically around the time that there was that giant missile barrage right at the start of the Israeli response.)
Checking my recent comments it seems to be off at the moment.
I used the tool and it looks like I have a downvoting stalker that dutifully downvotes my posts and comments. Aww… that’s so cute!
Noticed this a while back. The anti Israel sentiment could be it. We know Israeli parasites are scraping the internet to doxx people so it would make sense they are tagging people they IDes for some data gathering purposes
Part of me has wanted this for a long time. The other part of me wants to forget I now know about it.
At least the handful I checked seem to be random, so likely accidental, but I can see this driving me crazy.
Pretty sure it’s just users that disagree going and downvoting latest comments. At least for me, there was a MAGAt that didn’t like anti-trump stuff and gave me 1 downvote on everything I posted from that single comment, on backwards in my history for about a week or so.
I thought it was a bot at first, but then I realized it started right after my comment replying to him correcting him on his conspiracy theory stupidity cult nonsense. Everything posted after that comment received no downvotes.
When something like this happens to me I get so happy. Way to absolutely waste your time downvoting you mullet.
The votes are public but inaccessible in UI. You can check them.
I made this tool to check votes on a comment/post, and I am working on an option to see all votes a user has cast
It doesn’t seem to be working for me; I’ve tried several posts on different instances and they all result in a 500 error from your API.
May I have the post URLs you tried so I can troubleshoot?
Sure thing, these ones didn’t work:
https://lemmy.world/post/28644011 https://programming.dev/post/18300668 https://programming.dev/post/29141568 https://lemmy.zip/post/37110005 https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/25001000Also found some that worked while testing some more:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/24792249 https://programming.dev/post/29139521They didn’t work because they’re not from the poster/commenter’s instance. As it says on votes.gregtech.eu, currently the URL has to be from the poster’s instance. I am working on a better way to do this.
Ah okay, I interpreted that as the link having to be from the post’s instance. Nevermind then I guess.
Aaaand I fixed it. The URL can be from any instance now!
Failed to fetch votes, classic
Huh, may I see the URL you used? And did you select the proper option (post/comment)?
I selected your comment from my instance
I kinda have no idea why this doesn’t work @_@. The canonical URL does work though.
Maybe my server was too slow to respond?
I think it can’t fetch votes from a non-origin instance, for now I will add a warning until I fix it
