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

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

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

I give you this award 🏆

You too, young fellow

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 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.

Maybe a plugin API could address this

[–] [email protected] 9 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

My very first comment. You should feel SPECIAL

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Heh, jokes on you I'm a 2/5 guy, 2 Posts, 5 Comments and I'm going to keep flexible all the time that in at 2/5 and the others are only at 1/7 or somethingike this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

Fun fact: Based is a reference to crack cocain, based being free basing!

This meme format can be a bit confusing in this context. Since using Krita to make memes is based, by calling OP the "least based Lemmy user" he implies that all Lemmy users are even more based, especially compared to users of other social media platforms which he makes no such claims about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

oh i didn't know that! that's good choice

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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