I’ve been posting a lot lately But I seem like I’m controversial no matter what I post. I came from Reddit with over 2 million karma during the API controversy. Should I keep posting or give up on Lemmy?
I see people complain about you a lot, but I’ve never felt like anything you’ve contributed to Lemmy has been negative or harmful.
Let the haters hate. Block exists for a reason. If those losers blocked you and every other superposter who provides content they’d complain that nobody posts anything.
As you said, you can’t make everyone happy no matter what you do. Just do what you feel like you want to do right now.
Your post history seems positive though, maybe I’m sorting wrong
None of us are useful to Lemmy because Lemmy is not “useful.” Lemmy is a shit-pile of all of our combined thoughts and efforts. So, while no social media site is “useful,” Lemmy brings us a place to be entertained and informed/misinformed.
Most of your posts are shit. Most of my posts are shit. While we each usually shit in our own corners, we occasionally look at each other’s shit and say, “hmmm… This shit stinks.” Or, “this shit is a little nutty and I like that!” And even less frequently, we cross paths while shitting and our shit combines to create a new type of shit that other people can enjoy.
So, don’t try to measure your Lemmy “usefulness” based on karma, and instead focus on the shit. I often appreciate your shit, and your username always gives me a chuckle. Whether anyone likes it or not, all of our shit makes Lemmy’s shit the shit it is.
There is is, listen to uncle/auntie fartographer.
Well that was shitty. I like it. Thank you Sir or Madame Fartographer.
I appreciate you mate 🫂
Thank you
I appreciate you, @return2ozma@lemmy.world and if you left us it would be a major loss.
I pay no attention to down-voters. The growing popularity of the fediverse brings as many bad people with it as good ones.
Thank you! I’ll keep on keeping on
People are always going to have varying opinions, that doesn’t mean they have to break up. We are going to butt heads sometimes, that doesn’t mean we also cant tell each other how nice those jeans make each other’s ass look. So I’m going to say you filling them out real nice. Haha, on a serious note, I hope your doing well. Inbox is always open if you need to rant to someone
sounds to me, you take social media too seriously
Let go of the thought that updoots matter and you will find harmony.
When you know the crowd downvotes are more satisfying than upvotes.
Controversial posts that get engagement are probably thought-provoking and worthy of discussion. Discussion is much more important than karmafarming. Continue!
In general I have thought so for a long time.
Even when we disagree, which has happened.
Every person that logs in and interacts in good faith in some way is useful to Lemmy.
Most Lemmites are atheist so it would be, “act in good science”.
I’m upset now 😠
Jesus Christ relax.
Actually it would be “Charles Darwin relax.” here. But thank you for the consideration, I feel much better. 😊
Seems like a bit of a “pickme” post. You do you, don’t worry about your 2 million updoots on reddit.
I might have posted after a night out drinking. Oops
That’ll do it!
If you protest and meet counter protesters, do you pack up your bags and leave?
The question isn’t if you’re useful to Lemmy or not. We don’t deserve to exert any weight on your heart with opinions and upvotes.
Are you doing something you think is worth your time, with or without external validation? Is this something you would do if you thought it was basically the internet version of putting messages in a bottle?
When you are old and on your death bed, what will the value of your reddit karma be? What is the value of it now?
Do things that matter to you. Do things that help you grow and be a better person.
