You mean to tell me the worthless internet points ARE WORTHLESS NOW???
My reputation is ruined!
WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TO MY BIG CHUNGUS 420 69 EPIC REDDIT KARMA???
pls admin how do i transfer my karma to my new account ??/
@DestroyMegacorps @comfy, in the #fediverse there only exist #instant_karma, like in real life.
The best thing about Lemmy is that people don’t repost crap or act weird for fake internet points.
Just track your own karma: go through all your comments each day and add the upvotes :P
The cool thing about federation is someone could add this to their own instance
They can save themselves the effort. I already got a little notebook to do it manually.
hm. not sure if lemmy instance. any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo. not saying it can’t happen(maybe added as an option) but something else like kbin would also work.
It’s libre, you can fork it and create your own if you want feature not in the main repo. “any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo” is not correct.
ah sure. forking works. But then you’d have to always pull down changes from upstream and resolve conflicts, unless you don’t plan to update and gain security fixes. Lots of work for just one change.
Maybe a plugin API could address this
Good riddance. The karma system on Reddit is worthless. It’s supposed to let users flag spam and bot content, but it’s used as an agree/disagree button in reality. Users still lose posting privileges from having low karma and have to farm it in “free upvotes” subreddits… which spammers and bots happily abuse.
Take my upvote good sir
No awards to give either. Only upvotes left to give. So equitable. ☺️
I give you this award 🏆
You too, young fellow
I’m glad there’s no karma, hopefully that’ll mean less bots that steal posts, get loads of karma, then sell those accounts to people who use them to scam.
And, if you want to know if any of your posts or comments were well received, which is helpful and useful information, the upvotes it gets are still here.
Heh, jokes on you I’m a 2/5 guy, 2 Posts, 5 Comments and I’m going to keep flexible all the time that in at 2/5 and the others are only at 1/7 or somethingike this
Me: goes to my profile and calculates karma basing on all my submissions
it’s a matter of time before someone makes a bot to do it x)
Have a fake comment while your at it
oh i didn’t know that! that’s good choice
Screw Karma, honestly a terrible system of promoting content to others.
