    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.

    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

        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.

            ah sure. forking works. But then you’d have to always pull down changes from upstream and resolve conflicts, unless you don’t plan to update and gain security fixes. Lots of work for just one change.

    The best thing about Lemmy is that people don’t repost crap or act weird for fake internet points.

    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.

      automod removed what you were saying so let me guess what you meant: karma wh-res?

          interesting, seems like it only blocks the correct spelling more tests:

          crap

          cr@p

          shit

          sh!t

              Swear words that are mainly used as interjections (shit, crap) aren’t that bad IMO. Slurs like wh*re are usually targeted someone.

                  I’ve also noticed that the appropriate term for a female canine is blocked. Dog is the term for a male canine.

                Goddammit, I’m telling you, watch your fucking mouth! Swear-fucking-words are un-fucking-becoming of a Lemmy user!
