Comment on Bring Karma back (if you want, no hard feelings pls), but without toxicity (maybe)!
Rooki@lemmy.world 10 months agoSo to bring the sole reason, that users swapped from reddit to lemmy, back?
What a genious.
I guess you missed the whole
if you don’t like karma on lemmy, you are in good company. There is no need to hate the ones that do like them.
I could argue people (like me) swapped from reddit also because we were tired of the “if you disagree with me you are a stupid” attitude but I guess is universal
Cheers, just skip the post
Its not that i disagree but i see the risk that the karma will come back as hey you have low karma, you cant do sh*t. Or the whole thing with “Karma farming”. People posting more what everyone wants to hear and not whats right or interesting for some.
Hrm, I think people already do that though.
Just that now instead of clicking on someone and looking at their single Karma value, they click on someone and then scroll down briefly, looking at the point values of the newest comments and posts.
People be people, sadly.
Thats a good critic indeed. I agree on that, as I stated below being a non farmer and quite outside the world of karma farmers I only saw it as a naive cosmetic thing
Reddit was using karma for a long time and people stayed. The exodus happened when reddit announced charging for using their API, and everything that came along. Karma was no significant part of that story.
I might be misunderstanding your sentence, but people swapped to Lemmy from Reddit because Reddit removed karma values? (because say “back”) I don’t think they ever removed it.
No, i meant it as that. Because of downsides of karma on reddit ( with restricting things to only over x ammount of karma ) many swapped from reddit. Because lemmy doesnt have it ( or rather shouldnt have it as pre 0.19 it was just an oversight ) i said “back” because i was referencing it to lemmy. I am not a native english speaker.

No need to be offensive.

Oh sorry if i am offensive with it. It was just my opinion. Everyone should of course do what they want on lemmy. And if anyone wants to add Karma back, they should. But what they should keep on reddit, is the attitude oh you have low karma = you bad or you are just not worth my time.

Your opinion is okay and I agree with it. I just pointed you didn’t need to call the OP a “genius”.
