You're viewing a single thread.
The views expressed are more to the left and much more anti big-tech, which makes sense. Discussions are a bit more civil on average and there seems to be much less blatant karma-farming. At least that's the case on my instance, which blocks some of the more... controversial ones. Speaking of which though, the differences between various instances do shape discussions on Lemmy quite a bit, which Reddit of course doesn't have. You can often have a pretty good guess on a user's attitudes, political views and demeanor just by looking at their instance.
Not like you can even farm "karma" here in the first place. Lemmy doesn't have karma I'm pretty sure.
Don’t worry. Someone corrected me in the same fashion. I just don’t look or care and everything is fine.
To be fair you were correct, Lemmy doesn't. That's an mbin screenshot above and I'm not sure how they work out the numbers there.
Edit: it's all nebulous anyway, it can only count things since the creation of their instance.
I was wondering. But does total up votes actually count for anything algorithmicalky like how it is on reddit? I don't think so on Lemmy right?
For posts or comments? Or overall user aggregate? Lemmy isn't counting beyond each post or comment.
its really only useful for spotting trolls/spam accounts quickly.
Hadn't considered that. Hat tip.
Ooo ooo do me next! I have zero idea how I'm doing, but I haven't been banned anywhere. I think lol
Depends on the instance
