Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

I wrote an extension for firefox that shows your collective karma so I was wondering if you were using it, this is cool as well

Oh that's cool. I may have to check that out on desktop.

I'm going to update it to show youe comment/post karma separately when I get my computer fixed

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well definitely make a post when you do! I bet a lot of people would be interested in it.

I made a post, they hated it man 😭 I got like the same number of downvotes as upvotes

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Aww, yeah some people really hate the idea of "karma" because it's just useless internet points, but early reddit knew what they were doing by adding them. It encourages engagement when monke brain sees number go up.

I say that it's harmless fun.
