how do people from Reddit feel about how comments are chronologically listed instead of ranked by voting? (self.asklemmy)

The dopamine kick from getting updoots is real, I'd spend way too much time just trying to figure out what gets upvoted to game it. I speed ran an account to 125k in a few months. It's compulsive and addicting.

A week on here and I'm enjoying the learning experience, conversations with a broader range of opinions, less hive mind, and not checking my karma constantly, and as a result it feels better.

Your case almost reads like satire. So extreme. Another reason to not miss reddit and its excessive gamification among with other terrible features. You make redditors look like zombies. No offense.

None taken, I didn't start out that way on there, and at the time I didn't have the self awareness as to how compulsive it was.

I used to laugh at others when they moaned about their fake internet points, the irony!
