I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down
Yeah, I would love to see a user score on names (in addition to account age we have now):
How combative they are (i.e. referring to people as nazi’s, hitler, philes, ists, etc)
How likely they are to downvote a post vs upvote
How positive they can be (i.e. saying nice things)
Hexbear users will never downvote you if only because they physically can’t. Downvotes were disabled around the time of the Great reddit migration.
Everything is opened, so I guess someone could make an app for it. Downvotes is more complicated, it’s not openly shared, I think you have to be an instance admin and be willing to find them in your instance database.
Downvotes are open, but yeah, not currently exposed to every client, but its possible :) Maybe a server can show a sentiment score for a user, i do know one lemmy fork actually does that already, but I forgot which one.
Write the tool, provide it as a web service given a username, and then it will exist! :-P
