The other day, it was at 96%. This morning, it was at 88%. Now, a few hours later, it's at 80%. What's going on?
I've started a few communities and like it here. I try to be nice and upbeat. My posts have been received well, not seeing downvotes...
Edit: I'm marking this solved. I understand it now. Thank you all for being so helpful!
Edit Edit: After days of upvoting, I'm back at 96%. I juked the stats!
Attitude, like others have mentioned is given by:
(upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes)
If you want to see exactly how it is done, here is the code reference. Basically, it is just a number between -1 and 1 (-100% to 100%) based on the votes you have made. It can be different on different instances depending on what has federated to where. For example, on instances with downvotes disabled, everybody has a 100% attitude!
Thank you. Since I'm so new, I get it, the proportion is ~~bad~~ not yet optimal.
When you don't have too many votes cast, it doesn't take much to cause a big swing. There is a section in the code where it doesn't actually calculate the attitude until after 3 votes are cast, but perhaps that should be increased.
