    I’m the same! If the comment contains the word downvote in it, it’s a DV. I even downvote my own haha! It’s a silly little reminder to myself how little they matter

        No, i’m one of the 6 (current) downvotes 8 people upped it. Not that it matters but aren’t upvote histories available? If you really want to see can’t you actually check on lemmy? I’ve heard about this but never tried

            Is that link to this thread? It keeps taking me back here.

            I don’t know what to tell ya, but you’re wrong fella.

            Are you the type who apologizes when they are proven wrong or disappears?

              Oh I’ll disappear! Although it’s usually from.my attention wandering. 🤪

              The weird thing is, my “view votes” on that post is showing an upvote.

              Most be some kind of federation issue - if I had to guess, you get an automatic upvote when you post (which federates) but if you then change it, this may not.

                That’s interesting to know. I wonder how that works? That kinda throws off the whole upvote history thing, at least for someone’s own posts. Is that page you’re linking a mod only thing or can anyone access it?

                Also i got a bit upset at being called a liar but you were going off the info you had so here is my new kitty Bobo, no hard feelings

                  I’m bit sure it is a big deal as it isn’t treated as seriously as it us on Reddit. It’ll be correct on your home Instance which is the canonical record.

                  Is that page you’re linking a mod only thing or can anyone access it?

                  It has only just popped up as an option in a post’s menu, I am unsure who can see it (might be an Admin thing). I’ll check.

                  [edit: I checked, it’s an Admin thing. Now you’ve had a peek behind the wizard’s curtain and it’s not that exciting]

                  Also i got a bit upset at being called a liar

                  Sorry, I wasn’t calling you a liar - it was more an offhand observation as it looked like the automatic upvote had caught you out.

                  here is my new kitty Bobo

                  Well they look like trouble!
