Lemmy seems to have an LLM issue (self.fediverse)

or something of the sort. It's the only explanation I've got...

One or two days old accounts with a single post related to something that will generate replies for sure (AMA has a lot of them, like "I'm a Romanian girl that has lived most of my life secluded, ama" or something or the sort...) and both the post and account are deleted 24h later.

Latest suspicious one is about the guy who is short with long feet, second time it's posted by the same account who deleted the original but has no other comment history in-between.

One week ago on the shit post community, Dad ranking Instagram screenshot from "op's kid school", called it in the discussion, OP replied it was nothing of the sort, account and post are now deleted...

For what use though, karma means nothing here. If a long established account tomorrow started posting blatant propaganda or some shit we'd call it out immediately

Maybe the kind of people/organizations who do karma farming on Reddit haven’t figured out that’s meaningless here

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

Call it engagement farming then?

On Voyager, it acts a lot like RES on reddit. You can see how many times you upvote, I suspect it's related to that.

I mean, same is the case on Reddit, it's useless internet points. Yet people still farm it like it's the most important resource in their life.

I don't think whether it has any practical worth or not matters to these people. It's all about seeing numbers go up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

On lemmy, there is no karma counter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not on Lemmy itself, no, but other platforms on the fediverse might have one. Apps might have one.

Mbin has one for sure. So all you need to take a look at your karma is to hop over to fedia.io and look at your profile from there. Since my point is that practical use doesn't matter to them and it's just about numbers going up, I think this counts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I know about the mbin thing. I do check it once in a while out of curiosity.

Though, its not accurate (because of federation) and its harder to check, which can discourage people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is, but it's not displayed. Unless they also removed the internal counter when they removed the display.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm reasonably sure that they removed the counter from the api.

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

Pretty much useless yeah. No idea why anybody would find the time to get lemmy points

Votes are a metric to measure engagement. Which is valuable information
