This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

MODERATORS
Who the fuck cares about worthless internet points? Lemmy, please NEVER implement “karma” or anything like it.
Lemmy "has" karma, it's just part of account metadata and not usually visible
yes we can write our personal karma analysis algorithm
Well it also has visible vote counts on the posts themselves, just no outward facing accumulated score of all your posts.
Voyager displays post and comment count, not karma though. Figured that was how everyone sees it:
Yeah I mean as long as it's not displayed publicly, I don't expect people to fixate on it too much. The individual post and comment vote scores provide plenty of feedback, there's no need for a cumulative counter, aside from moderation reasons.
However, it is displayed on Mbin and PieFed, but their userbases are relatively small so it hasn't mattered much so far. That's one of the major things I think Lemmy does right from a design perspective, hiding that number from people unless they dig through the database.
Depends on your instance/app. My comment "karma" is currently at 2000.
Which app are you using ?
Voyager
Ty
And how do you display karma ?
It's in your profile (center button on the bottom).
Isn't that just the comment count ? (Total number of comments)
No possible way, because I don't comment nearly that often.
Uh, I got bad news for you.
Happened to me, on reddit.
Happened to me as well. Turns out they no likey if you use a VPN and will ban you for it.
I got one like this. It didn't break the rules but was very popular on Reddit. After about a day I got the mod removal comment and was pissed because it was a great discussion and everyone was civil. They said it didn't "fit" the subreddit but it certainly did, no rule was applied nor could it.
Hate all mods on all platforms with a passion. No regulation whatsoever on how they should act. Making interactions unfair. Yet there is no consequence to them for this injustice. The unfortunate thing is that some subreddits or communities are too popular and are dominant so even if I created my own version with a similar topic and my own fair rules, to treat people more fairly, it wouldn't be the same. Certain communities might be the only place on Reddit or Lemmy that I can talk about a certain thing and get the audience/answer/feedback I want.
Hate all mods on all platforms with a passion.
i don’t, without them you end up with twitter/facebook/garbage town websites filled with garbage
There are abusive mods on all platforms
Been on forums since 1999, really not that big of an issue tbh, it's a stupid website, who cares
Sometimes I post a comment on a website and it is moderated, how will I survive this, oh the pain of it all faints
No, because I like having conversations with people uninterrupted, when it gets removed and I have done nothing wrong, it is rude.
That's arguing there should be no police force in society of any kind, just because the current implementation is severely lacking in worthiness and accountability.
Even an anarchist association of communities would inevitably develop some sort of internal peacekeeping force simply because it is necessary for human civilization, and there is always potential for conflict. Human nature and all.
The closest thing an anarchist would ever advocate for in regards to an internal peacekeeping force would be some sort of community defense to defend against violent threats to community. But there would be ways to prevent it from becoming centralized and abusive. One way is by training everyone in the community in community defense and rotating the role. Their are other ways as well. But besides the point
I didn't say they shouldn't exist, just to be more regulation
Sorry about your lots. RIP in peace
I only wish I had land, lol. I see you suffer from RAS syndrome as well.
Basically what happens every time there’s a post on an incel sub that’s critical of incels. 20,000 upvotes and a ban.
