The thing I like most about the fediverse, unlike reddit, is that people are genuinely posting things they care about or like, rather than posting to be a karma whore. I can't tell you how many times I've posted in reddit and it instantly gets stolen and used in another sub simply to get easy karma. It's refreshing to not have that here. That's all. Thanks!

Once, I saw an article I thought reddit might like, I checked no-one had posted it, but then when I did it said some-one had done (that very second, by some-one who posted frequently, but not from that source). The article was hours old, so I wondered if some of the karma-stealing was automated to favour certain users. Probably just a coincidence, but it's nice to get out of 'but what about my karma mindset?'

(For any worried readers, fear not - I posted a comment in the guy's post which got about half the karma the post did, so all wasn't lost)
