I think this is great tool to identify vote manipulation accounts.
Thanks @[email protected] for making me aware of this.
And thank you @[email protected] for developing it.
Just be aware it lists all downvotes first
I like it, thanks Lena.
I have somehow used it to stop @[email protected] from consistently downvoting me in their excellent corvids community, by calling them out for downvoting a comment in support of my issue. Before that, they downvoted every comment of mine but have stopped since.

Transparency makes for polite neighbors
Before that, they downvoted every comment of mine but have stopped since.
Ah, thanks for the reminder.

Well now I’m curious…
i wanted to know what the beef was about, but then i saw the other comment about wanting to be left alone so i decided not to bring it up.
As far as I can tell from 30s of looking at message histories its about photo reuploading, but idk
i wanted to know what the beef was about
It arose as the result of an attempted community consolidation which went… poorly: https://sh.itjust.works/post/34897944
Not sure the best way to handle the situation at this point.
I don’t have a dog in the crow game, seems like the best thing is for the content posters of the new community to block the old community and not top-post the old posters content. Nonconsensual consolidation of content, even if they are not the copyright holder, is going to get a strong emotional reaction from people.
There has to be enough Crazy Crow content for everyone
Haha, no worries. But you did not like getting your toxic ass called out there, did you.
Anyway, it’s kinda nice to see that regular users seem to support my case, downvotes all come from you or cm0002 and their claquers who have nothing to do with the niche topic, just politics.
But you did not like getting your toxic ass called out there, did you.
Given that votes on Lemmy are pseudo-anonymous, publicly calling someone out for how they vote comes with a certain amount of aggressive or combative connotation. However, I recognize that “pseudo-anonymous” is not “actually anonymous”, and I respect your freedom to do so.
You thought long and hard for that reply, and it turned out very reasonable.
Seeing that you’re so such a reasonable person i wonder what made you downvote what they had posted there?
the best thing for old internet beefs is to just let it go and walk away. bygones. its all done and dusted, no need to stir the pot
It is not old internet beef, it is ongoing. I am not looking for it, I want to just be left alone by them, that’s it.
If you just want to be left alone you probably shouldn’t @ one of the fighting parties
I am not going to just swallow their bullying but will keep speaking my mind on it, I want to have some agency for the content I post. They spoil my fediverse experience. It’s not like they’d stop if I’d just shut up.
ok… what is the TLDR?
They reupload your original photos to different communities?
Blaze maybe this should go into the sidebar?
Added at the end of the resources
Dev here, just a heads up that the blog post is outdated
Thanks! Should we remove it, and just leave the access to the website?
Yeah I recommend removing it, as the technical part of it is not relevant anymore. You can add a new one if I get around to writing it.
Oh wow. Just looked at the votes of a harmless happy post that had lots of upvotes and a few downvotes. With this tool, I was able to figure out who was that one downvoter. Well, then I dug a bit deeper, and found out that this user seems to be a serial downvoter. Every day, there’s a proper barrage of downvotes directed at pretty much anything and everything.
I have very mixed feelings about this discovery. Kinda nice to know all this, but it certainly didn’t make me happier.
It’s a nice tool for admins and mods, but then again they already pretty much had access to this information. I’ve always believed votes are obscured for good reason, and knowing how people vote on your posts and comments is only going to bring about negative emotions.
Wait, we did? I’m a mod and had no idea I could see peoples’ votes. How do I do that? I say, as I probably will never use it until I start seeing my communities consistently getting downvotes on inoffensive posts that have no misinformation and are clearly on topic.

Hey you are right, thank you!
For any other mods unaware of this feature, it only works on posts in communities you mod.
You’re welcome!
I’m not a mod but that’s my understanding yes. An actual mod could probably help you, I guess ask for help in a fediverse/Lemmy support community?
