Besides it’s a very important question for our privacy, I suspect some of my comments getting downvoted at set periods of time from other accounts. I don’t understand how the fediverse work and what I’m asking is who has vote logs? Who I can ask, if a bot, like on reddit, got dedicated to downvote every post from one user. How to avoid vote brigading on here? Can it be automated?
I’m not pissed and I do know I post literal shit sometimes. It’s just I’m wondering, if our fedieverse have machanics against that.
Why do you assume it’s stored? All AP/Lemmy needs to do (at the thread level) is increment counters. Your history tracks what you have upvoted so the data could be reconstructed if you parsed each user’s history. But in a federated system that’s nigh impossible.
It is stored. I can see everyone that upvoted and downvoted your comment by looking into my database right now.
It has to be, actually. Otherwise you could easily use the API to keep upvoting the same post or comment over and over.
It also needs to show me how I voted in the UI. It’s stored somewhere.
@Bishma I am on kbin. If you upvote my comment I can go into ‘activity’ and get a username list of everyone, from any instance, that upvoted me. The data is obviously there.
