I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.
Something important to realize is, upvotes attributed to a profile was once designed to place profiles on a trust scale. A person with more upvotes in general would simply, and naturally, be more listened and trust than a person with low or even negative upvotes.
The problem is our brain can easily fall in the trap which has been used by marketing for decades now : the reward circuit.
Thus people prone to make a lot of money abused that, and even raised the problem to an other level with bots and competition. They did so because it creates addiction. And what addiction does create ? Spending money. So you really don’t want profile accumulated upvotes on Lemmy.
Personally it depends. Back in reddit, my quippy remarks/attempts to be funny seem to get a decent upvote rate, but for more serious comments/questions/discussions, lemmy definitely has more interaction
No idea. I’m not worried about em. This space feels way more like home now though. Almost like that other place a decade or more ago.
Uh… I was one of the people with a bot army of novelty accounts that had super fucked up names lol
I evolved from karma whoring into whatever the fuck this is called. Accounts like VaginalPimpleFetish would just show up and say nice things to random people until it got banned.
But yeah, drowning in upvotes here now
Yep everyone here is much kinder, smarter and better looking
Not really, but less folk to upvote so understandable.
Not even a little bit. I felt like Usher in the early 2000s, just drowning in … You get the idea.
I do but I’m not actively trying to piss anyone off here, so I guess that it’s deserved?
