      So I can’t see that. Is that information only available to mods? Does it just count the numbers on this instance and not all instances?

      I was told there is a attitude number too, showing rank of upvoting and downvoting. I think it might be good to have the information available to everyone, to suss out the motivations of commenters, to help differentiate between people that honestly disagree and influence agents, bots, chatbots, etc. Which are rife on all social media now it seems, including lemmy to a lesser degree it appears though not sure as to the extent. Reddit, facebook, twatter, et al are overrun, especially the latter two.

        Attitude is public (I can see yours at 88%, I’m currently sitting at 90%).

        Reputation is not (though not sure to what degree - is anything on the fediverse not public?), I think it’s visible to moderators and/or instance owners. Everyone can see if you’re a total dickwad though:

          Oh thanks for the response, my instance does not seem to give me that information unfortunately, although those icons do seem familiar I just checked the page on my instance and I’ve no such attitude checker icon, neither on the comment nor their profile, running through context, which follows under the host instance’s site, I see nothing either.

          I guess that is a reason to start looking at other instances on lemmy or piefed for a second account and or write my instance and ask for that although I hate to demand they work more for free I appreciate the work they’ve done already.

            I think lemmy.today is lemmy, not piefed. Attitude and reputation are piefed features.

              Oh I see yes sorry I should’ve realized that was just a piefed feature not sure how other instances work though I am relatively knew here from reddit which I hate and distrust the administration of even as there are a lot of great people on there.

              Seems like a very doable add on for lemmy though, if even one wrote some base code change for it other developers of other instances of lemmy could add it in with minimal effort I would think, although I know little of developing internet sites admittedly. I don’t see why one would not want that information added.

      Is that my social credit score?

      And why now does Piefed have such a thing? So divergent, critical accounts get marked and the well behaved good citizens, like you, get to know exactly, who the troublemakers are, priming them before they even engage? Gotta make sure everyone is on their best behaviour and nobody starts making a fuss.

      Pick up that can, gullible fool citizen.
