Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D
I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc
I’m not a fan of this because the main thing I liked about Reddit over all the other various “social media” was that I didn’t have to try to recognize names. Names didn’t matter, it was all about the conversation and the subject matter. If a post or comment was good I liked it, if it was bad I disliked it, and I moved on.
RES kept track of my personal like/dislike sum for each individual, perhaps since upvotes/downvotes aren’t anonymous here in the Fediverse it’d be more straightforward to do that and show that to each user.
@FaceDeer@kbin.social I actively jam this by changing my name every so often like a molting arthropod
Yeah, I’ve seen people do that on Reddit too. It’s not really my thing, I’m fine with people recognizing me if they want to. If someone just can’t stand me then I encourage them to block me. Though preferably not after firing off a final “gotcha” comment at me and then blocking me so I can’t respond (that’s the most annoying thing about Reddit’s blocking system, I don’t know how the Fediverse handles that sort of thing yet).
