If we keep it without karma, bagdes and other reward crap then the only reward is the information of the post itself, the plus that ir brings to the people involved. As a forum should be.

Man so far i am loving lemmy and the fediverse. Clunky? Yes. But i love this real sense of community that was lost at reddit. Losing RIF was truly a blessing in disguise. I hope more people will move here but even if they don't, I am ok. I am sick and tired of my data being something that goes to feed the pockets of some corporation. Fuck it.

Clunky is good, as my dad says: "imperfection adds character, a sort of rustic appeal"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping I can get a feed from as many communities as I did subreddits. one thing I've noticed so far is not as much content is posted here, but I guess for obvious reasons.

+1 lemmy gold to you stranger!

Take this SiLvEr. It's all I can afford.

I love that vintage silver is back, and the sloppy photoshop job to slap Lemmy onto it only makes it better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Not even the effort to type out Lemmy themselves, ripped straight from a webpage. Perfection

Commenting for the bronze coming my way any time now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

🟤 close enough, whether you view it as more valuable due to lack of effort or less valuable cause its an emoji is completely up to you!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Totally agree. I don't want karma. It was useless anyways.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For the most part. The reality is upvotes for people serve as dopamine boosts and they crave it. It helps drive engagement, and of course addiction.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Well it's also useful feedback for training neural networks to make engaging posts.

Same thing, really.

Karma's a bitch or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Karma is the wind in my hair on the weekend.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I noticed that I don't have a karma or upvote counter for my account, and I felt free. Let's keep it that way. It just encourages more ego and skin in the discussion ahead of focusing on the content and further penalizes users who sometimes have an unpopular, but still civil and constructive, opinion. I don't want an echo chamber effect.

I imagine that implementing such a metric could become quite confusing if it turned out that not all instances permitted all communities in the future. If this is already the case, please excuse me. I've been on Lemmy for one hour total. Solving that consistency problem couldn't be easier than just not solving it.

Hate to break it to ya but that’s just your UI from whatever app you’re using; you definitely have a “karma” score / upvote score, currently at 47 comment upvotes total.
