Basic mental health config for a non tankist user of Lemmy is to block hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml instances first. Then, any user from there that you will see calling nazis anyone who don’t think like them.
I almost left Lemmy thinking it was a tankist shithole before understanding the pattern.
Then it gets back to the average former-Reddit techie activist, which is still pretty left.
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.

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)
Write the tool, provide it as a web service given a username, and then it will exist! :-P
Hexbear users will never downvote you if only because they physically can’t. Downvotes were disabled around the time of the Great reddit migration.

is tankist a translation of the french word for tankie or something? i’ve never seen anyone use “tankist” before
Just a mistake I made.
thanks for satisfying my curiosity anyways 👍
