Spoiler: their one upvote was wishing David Attenborough happy birthday, so maybe they’re not a bad person…
- wait, you can see upvotes and downvotes a person has given? - Lemmy and ActivityPub devs couldn’t make federated votes work otherwise. Idk if it’s even posssible without some extensive cryptographic operations. 
- It’s the way federation works. It’s usually hidden by Lemmy except to administrators but anyone could make their own fediverse software that shows whatever they choose. - that makes sense 
 
- https://lemvotes.org/user/b34rd@lemmy.world - They are busy. - I was just happened upon this recently, it does not work for everything, it seems to work in my example. - Someone made a post that said something like ‘drowning kittens is bad’ , it had one downvote, and I wondered who would disagree with that statement? This user is who. 
 
- Looking at the voting history of the listed posts makes it pretty easy to find the beard that’s doing this 
- Ha, a conservative mod is getting upvotes from their own name on differing instances.
