Gimme karma

LolaCat 53 points 3 years ago

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No need to test the filter like that, the full list of banned words can be found in the code. This filter actually did some damage to Lemmy's reputation in 2020 as Lemmy was originally a closed community with strict moderation and little understanding of federation. The admins wanted a quick way to make lemmy.ml look unappealing to chaotic right-wing users. The filter is only present on this instance now, it's no longer hard-coded into all instances.
