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.
No being smart on the internet :(
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.
Screw Karma, honestly a terrible system of promoting content to others.
You mean to tell me the worthless internet points ARE WORTHLESS NOW???
My reputation is ruined!
WHATS GONNA HAPPEN TO MY BIG CHUNGUS 420 69 EPIC REDDIT KARMA????
pls admin how do i transfer my karma to my new account ??/
Just track your own karma: go through all your comments each day and add the upvotes :P
The cool thing about federation is someone could add this to their own instance
They can save themselves the effort. I already got a little notebook to do it manually.
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.

The best thing about Lemmy is that people don't repost crap or act weird for fake internet points.
My very first comment. You should feel SPECIAL
I am honored to bask in your golden light
UwU
OwO
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.
Me: goes to my profile and calculates karma basing on all my submissions
it's a matter of time before someone makes a bot to do it x)
Take my upvote good sir
No awards to give either. Only upvotes left to give. So equitable. ☺️
