Amazing. Really does sound like they’re trying to sabotage the site now.

I was thinking about it; Lemmy could technically implement a system of gold on its own e.g can give one award a month after hitting a certain karma level or something to siphon more Reddit users.

But a lot of people on this site seem to not want normie Reddit users flocking here and my personal expectation is that people here would not care for awards. So whether they flock here or not will likely depend on how fed up they get.

A lot of Reddit users have become more toxic over the years. Let them sink down with the Reddit failboat, we don’t need them here.
