I'm glad there's no karma, hopefully that'll mean less bots that steal posts, get loads of karma, then sell those accounts to people who use them to scam people.

And, if you want to know if any of your posts or comments were well received, which is helpful and useful information, the upvotes it gets are still here.

No being smart on the internet :(

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TO MY BIG CHUNGUS 420 69 EPIC REDDIT KARMA????

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

pls admin how do i transfer my karma to my new account ??/

[–] Catweazle@social.vivaldi.net 2 points 1 year ago

@DestroyMegacorps @comfy, in the #fediverse there only exist #instant_karma, like in real life.

[–] Andreas@feddit.dk 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good riddance. The karma system on Reddit is worthless. It's supposed to let users flag spam and bot content, but it's used as an agree/disagree button in reality. Users still lose posting privileges from having low karma and have to farm it in "free upvotes" subreddits... which spammers and bots happily abuse.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

That was actually something I used to help decide if an account was a bot or not, but it was only a minor part of the puzzle.

[–] RussoBusso@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Screw Karma, honestly a terrible system of promoting content to others.

[–] sina@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago

The best thing about Lemmy is that people don't repost crap or act weird for fake internet points.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Just be happy that people enjoyed it!

Even if an account karma system was implemented, the federated nature of the site would make it easily exploitable/pointless anyway.

[–] _s_@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My very first comment. You should feel SPECIAL

[–] LolaCat@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

I am honored to bask in your golden light

[–] iod@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just track your own karma: go through all your comments each day and add the upvotes :P

[–] spen@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The cool thing about federation is someone could add this to their own instance

[–] hrimfaxi_work@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

They can save themselves the effort. I already got a little notebook to do it manually.

[–] iod@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hm. not sure if lemmy instance. any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo. not saying it can't happen(maybe added as an option) but something else like kbin would also work.

[–] spen@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s libre, you can fork it and create your own if you want feature not in the main repo. “any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo” is not correct.

[–] iod@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ah sure. forking works. But then you'd have to always pull down changes from upstream and resolve conflicts, unless you don't plan to update and gain security fixes. Lots of work for just one change.

Me: goes to my profile and calculates karma basing on all my submissions

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 4 points 1 year ago

it's a matter of time before someone makes a bot to do it x)

No awards to give either. Only upvotes left to give. So equitable. ☺️

Meta - I'm too old to get this meme without wondering about the reading order Every. Single. Time. xD

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

like a comic, top left, then top right, then bottom left, then bottom right.
