I just wanted to let everyone know there is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.
None of these imaginary points fucking matter.
So why don't you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.
I know I have.
(Lemmy is rad as fuck)
I upvoted you for what it's worth. More worthless karma for you
I just hope that Lemmy stays nice. I don't want it to reach 100 million+ users and be overwhelmed with RAGEBAIT and scams.
Instances will rise and fall, but we can always just crack open a cold one with each other and open a new instance.
No more switching services... finally!
It will get corrupted, but we'll find the right crowd then, this shit always happens.
Ragebait here is saying you like Windows for its open design.
Bots are already the ones posting most of the articles here. Disguised #ads are also on Lemmy and will become a problem if ever Lemmy grows substantially (which I don't believe will ever happen).
There can be many reasons reddit sucks, but I'd argue its mostly because Spez is a mega douche and Reddit was captured by mods who had agendas and just silenced anyone who disagreed. Or they were paid to do it.
Then why are there so many beans and jeans on my front page?
Just Value Content
Literally right there in the title.
Well, and also because I can express my hope that a piano fall on Spez's head.
And we're allowed to say Nazi's are bad
You just get the occasional weirdo from a weirdo instance arguing otherwise
Also, smaller servers means that it's easier to spot criminal communities and boot their asses. Also individual servers can be cracked down on for hosting evil content, without all of Lemmy being destroyed.
Give it another year or two and we'll have some website that tallies the karma of lemmy users. Clout is an insidious disease that grows like a social cancer.

It has already happened with this piece of cancer.

Find people who have low karma
When someone is consistently getting downvoted it’s likely they are a problem. PieFed provides a list of accounts with low karma, sorted by lowest first. Clicking on their user name takes you to their profile which shows all their posts and comments in one place. Every profile has “Ban” and “Ban + Purge” buttons that have instance-wide effects and are only visible to admins.
Well guess I'm not using piefed. Still pissed about getting automatically temp muted on reddit years ago just for saying I didn't like skyrim that much.
oh ok so we're just allowing straight hate speech now cool
Waking up to this message made me scared of what sleepy me said last night lmao
Wow. I definitely do not love that.
by ditching the Karma farmers
How, exactly? Decentralization aside, lemmy is a reddit clone, but on a smaller scale. The same human psychology that drives reddit also drives lemmy. I think your assessment is more applicable to mastodon because there you really have to figure out how to fill your feed with content.
Not really, because votes are only counted on a "by content" basis in any way that I'm aware of that is used
Oh my sweet summer child. EVERY new service and SocMed site starts out like this. Fresh, fun, and working properly. Until the masses show up. That's when it goes to shit.
idk about you but psychologically i never chceckef my ksrma scote but still pay some attention to how an individual comment/submission is perceived. cuz i took the time to write it and it's cool if people like/understand it and it's "important" if they dont (at least important to my rat brains)
as a departure from this mentality, i will not edit the typos
I do this. I don't pay it too much mind, but it's helpful for seeing which posts or comments gain more traction.
