i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

I agree with the dislike button thing. I’m using wefwef so it’s basically an Apollo clone so I can see my cumulative stats so I guess to me they mean something. I guess everywhere has its own system so it’s a side effect of decentralized community.

Edit: removed a word

    but.. do most people actually care? i stopped caring about my cumulative amount after a specific amount (currently i'm at 319.056 Post-Karma, 91.827 comment karma). its just too much too care anymore for me. if it goes down or up.. i don't really feel it anymore or even care. i think the whole cumulative score of votes isn't really fullfilling anything purposefull.

    how do you feel about such a cumulative score? does it triggers dopamine for you? for me it is "meh", so i'm interested in how other people experience this.

    It’s a tale as old as time:

    you do something and number go up? Dopamine

    you do something and number go down? nopeamine

    Doesn’t matter much to me as far as high score type fulfillment fluff but as someone who likes stats and something to reference information about where I’m at is interesting at least and appreciated for the sake of being knowing. I always love video games that had a full stat page on the options like gta
