I think the karma system on reddit had a real effect on behaviour. What you often found it did was cause people to write comments for the audience of voters instead of for the person they're responding to. This eliminates personal interaction between users and turns everything into soapboxing. You stop having real conversations with each other, instead it becomes about pandering to votes.
This then also causes people to vote based on this as well. "You're not saying what the group wants to hear" downvote is the voting behaviour it creates.
This so frigging much. People are not having conversations, they are posturing.
It's like going into a debate prepared for discussing ideas, and the other debater is going for discussing emotions.
Truly fucked up and patently divisive
Yeah it's annoying. Things are far more pleasant when people are actually talking to one another, it creates a more human interaction and you don't get the kind of bad-faith engagement associated with trying to pander to votes. People self-censor far less as a result as well, aside from instance rules.
The weirdest part is the interactions, I swear to God people is hell bent on their conversations being pre-tainted with assuming the worst possible take on the others side.
It's like people can't no longer have different thoughts on the matter without going full civil war in the comments
To be honest I've gotten used to that and have had that here with "you glorify Lenin blah blah blah 100gorillion deaths gommunism no food". I think that's a specific type of person issue.
:/
Guess it's gonna take a while. I think it'll never get used to it haha
