I see what op did here
Why do you care about up votes and down votes? There is no karma tracking here
I don’t care about Karma, but to see a 0 after spending an hour on something means that it will not get seen (when I thought people would enjoy it). So in a way it invalidates my effort, and causes me to reevaluate what people would like to see (and, it seems my content may not be it).
Might be an idea to make your lemmy home on an instance that doesn’t allow down votes (those exist). People on other servers might still downvote it, but you won’t notice.
In fact, I think I’ll go do that myself.
Posting a meme and getting no upvotes, is basically like making a joke and no one but you laughs about it. Shit hurts.
That’s the thing that was missing in my sight! And you know what? I don’t care that we don’t have karma anymore. I think it lets people be themselves even though they might say stuff that would downvote them to the ground.
Have a nice blue up arrow for support
It’s ok. They will come.
