And for those of you playing Kbin bingo, go ahead and mark your 'mutant appears in the comments with bad opinions and gets downvoted' space.
Might as well just be an extra free space.
holy fuck what happened to your reputation points
Running around Lemmy condemning the blackout and wishing ill on those who supported it. That's not a good strategy for holding a positive reputation.
and this is the reason I like having reputation points advertised. So you can spot an obvious troll and/or someone who isn't capable of having a meaningful discussion. It really helps to decide how much effort you put in when conversing with a poster.
I've noticed on Lemmy they don't have reputation points visible on profiles because they see them as a vanity/populatiry metric. Reputation can be used for far more than just "fake internet points" they can be a great indicator of trolls.
