I don’t know who needs to hear this where, but being able to sort a user’s comments by controversial would be a quick way to get a gauge on how generally inflammatory a user is when moderating one of their comments.

I’m not saying I doubt this, but I would like to know what data points you used to get to that conclusion. What platforms do you have access to where you can see how users downvoted in order for you to have concluded there’s a correlation between serial downvoting and toxicity?
Mostly anecdotal; I may be wrong, but I see a lot of toxic folk who enjoy their downvoting. Seeing it put into a table might be interesting, especially if we could use AI to detect tone / toxicity.
I just realized…you’re on kbin.social, which already publicly exposes which users downvoted something. Traditional lemmy instances don’t expose that info, so it didn’t make sense to me that it’d be possible to relate toxicity to downvoting. Kbin does it differently.
