No thanks

Trust, lemmys already kind of an echo chamber, but it's our echo chamber so ¯(ツ)/¯

Downvotes don't get it. Lemmy mods ban people at the drop of a hat and this echo chamber is deafening compared to reddit (at any point in time). But at least we're not overrun with bots.

It's not just a shitty place, as a corporation it actively fuels shitty practices that are felt across all social media and the internet in general. I'd rather take their users and build something better with them.

It doesn't feel great when you want to make the switch just to find the analogous lemmy communities have 100-5000 members with the last post being 3 weeks ago as opposed to 100k+ with 10 posts in the last hour. The only way to fix that is with new users. Whether from the old site or not, new users is how these communities will grow and flourish. If you want to gatekeep, go ahead but I think you'll only be slowing the adoption of the fediverse and letting the problems that incentivized its creation fester.

At 48k monthly active users, there's still quite a margin to become Reddit. 100k would already allow for more niche communities while being manageable.

Depending on their client this will just radicalize them into expressing their beliefs further.

downvoted because I still want to believe in your mission of no redditors.

oh, i mean, i don't personally know the feeling. i am just looking at my 500ish upvote post and sighing wistfully

From this day forward I will follow and upvote everything you do. All im the name to one day, however far in the future it may be, make you a karma junkie.

Come forth my lemmy siblings, join me in this fantastic endeavor!!! Muahhahahahahahha

Irony is horrible

Upvote my comment to 300+ or else I post feet pic

Edit: you people had your chance.

Looks like karma shouldn't be a thing then, thanks for the explanation

@pelespirit Because Lemmy is federated, your upvotes and downvotes are also sent to different platforms, which may display them.

How long until people get banned from various communities for voting on something unrelated?

Mods can see votes from Tesseract

It means nothing, just like karma

In newer versions of Lemmy you can quickly check someone's modlog:

That helps from time to time to see who you're dealing with

I honestly think it's kinda lame since you can't see who is just being a troll.

That's exactly why it isn't a thing on Lemmy. Not because knowing who is a troll of a bad thing but because it is a terrible measure of that. Karma systems, like Reddit's are far too easy to game in order to lend a false sense of legitimacy to statements associated with an account (or try to make a legitimate account appear illegitimate) in order to manipulate people. Propagandists and other bad actors love karma systems because of this.
