On Reddit, my karma was always weighted more on the question side than on the comment side. I felt bad for not being a valuable contributor to people’s lives rather than being selfish and always asking things for myself. Lemmy has gotten rid of that point system so now I feel like I can feel free to ask as many questions as I need without having to balance my karma. Also, I have noticed that I participate so much more on this platform than I ever did on Reddit.
It’s the main reason why Reddit was a giant circle jerk. I like here that you can upvote and downvote things but it’s not connected to your account at all. Just connected to the comment or post, as it should be.
Well said.
I didn’t notice this until you mentioned it. I really like that. Hopefully it stays that way.
I rarely up/down voted stuff on Reddit, because I didn’t want to feed the algorithm and have them do whatever it is they were going to do with that data tied to me.
