Thank fuck. Those stupid internet points were a weird pissing contest anyway
77 0 ReplyYeah making discussions into addictions, not because of the subject, but because of the good boy points was always stupid.
40 0 ReplyGod I hated all the joke comments that wound up at the top with thousands of upvotes. Just one big circle jerk on many serious topics. I’m sure it’ll still occur in Lemmy to some extent but hopefully the lack of karma will help keep it down.
17 1 ReplyIf there's no karma, then what are the two numbers that "Thunder" displays next to my account age?
10 0 ReplyIt also made participating in smaller subreddits a little less satisfying, even though I liked the conversations in those more.
There was just something about a random comment in a giant subreddit suddenly getting me sooo many points, more than I had made in months!
Logically I knew karma didn't really matter, but big numbers gud!
5 0 ReplyIt's good to see people complaining about good boy points still get good boyed here.

I don’t know what’s going on here and at this point I’m to afraid to ask
16 0 ReplyJust remember, if you have a hot take , they don't just ban you, they ban your entire server
15 2 ReplyWhaaaa that's crazy I don't understand. On the subject of things I don't understand, is there a grand tally of our upvotes somewhere?
1 0 Reply
All your upvotes belong to us.
15 0 ReplyOh it’s coming lol. They already track vote counts on the back end. Several third party apps even show total “point” for posts and comments.
Example from my profile on Memmy:
And Thunder

Who says I can't have Karma!? Maybe I'll get good luck by getting a lot of updoots here on Lemmy, just like how it worked on Reddit! Right?

Maybe it's just the apps I've use for it, but I still see points and upvote/downvote systems here. Am I missing something about all these "no karma" posts? Is it simply the lack of account points? Help me understand.
