I don't really pay any attention to this but piefed shows an "attitude" score on profile pages indicating the ratio of upvotes to downvotes a person is making.
Yours (OP) is 100% indicating you only ever upvote comments?
I'm not sure how this is calculated and whether it is reliable or captures the entirety of someone's activity.
I've heard that! That's actually one of the main reasons I haven't switched, it sounds very neat but I feel terrified of having it evaluate me. I don't always downvote based on "I don't like this" or even "I think this should be ranked less visible". But it might still look like I'm being a dick in a vacuum.
That would mean that my downvotes haven't federated somehow then. I definitely downvote stuff.
Yeah I had assumed it wouldn't necessarily have visibility over every comment you've ever voted on, but IDK enough about how activitypub works.
I don't think it's worth worrying about being evaluated? As in, people with piefed are evaluating you regardless.
it blocks your ability to downvote and ads flags to your account if it deems you 'negative'.
so it actively punishes you if you downvote too much, or if you get downvoted.
there is a little red 'warning!' flag that gets attached to your username when you have low aggregate karma.
it is weird and arbitrary, IMO. When I click through on 'low reputation' people, sometimes it's obvious why, sometimes it's not clear at all why they are flagged that way.
That's fair. It's more like an internal thing. Like, I would know there's a "naughty/nice" grade being applied to me so my behavior would change regardless of whether or not anyone looks at it or cares.
On piefed the attitude is based on recent votes (50?) not the entire history.
