Fuck Reddit's karma system

17 days ago by HotWheelsVroom to c/venting

I'm gonna say that I fucking HATE Reddit's karma system. Too many subs require karma thresholds they won't fucking disclose under the guise of 'DuRr It'S tO StOp tHe BoTs". Karma takes way too long to build and literally SO easy to lose in a matter of seconds. The system is easily abused by bad actors trying to ruin engagement. Getting downvoted fucks up your karrma count and some users are in literal negative amounts of total karma because of shit-for-brains mass downvoting every post they make. You literally have to circlejerk over the most Reddit-type opinions on the site just to gain positive karma. The system is literally the reason karmafarming subreddits like FreeKarma4U were so popular back in the day, because the system is so fucked it feels like you have to actually game the system to get even the slightest bit ahead. The fact you have to go on NewToReddit JUST to find subreddits that don't have stupid karma requirements is fucking bullshit. This shit is literally just fake-ass internet points and Reddit mods treat it like it's the most VALUABLE FUCKING TYPE OF CURRENCY in existence. Even if you have enough post karma in one sub, another sub will tell you you don't have enough comment karma. It's honestly become applying for a fucking job application and being CONSTANTLY rejected by HR.

Wow, thank you so much, Reddick! This shitty-ass, nonsensical, BULLSHIT karma system is totally thoughtful(tm) and free(tm) discussion!!!

I once created an account to comment on someone asking for help setting up UTM and Alpine Linux only to find out my comment was not publically visible with no explanation. Fuck Reddit.

Venting is a place where Lemmy users can rant/vent about anything that is on their mind. If you are annoyed or very pissed off about something, you can talk about it here and our community will listen.
