“And not a
dimebean less”Well, I’m sold: Beans are fucking great!
What accent do you fart with?
It varies based on diet. I just ate a turkey sandwich so, American I guess?
Rearward/punishment systems are corrupt. Good on lemmy for not playing into that bullshit
I left kbin because they have reputation (karma) and peop3were already overly concerned about their rep score there. Bare 3 weeks and they’re rep whoring over there.
Some clients will count things up for you, it’s a way to keep people interested. Ultimately I agree that karma systems encourage people to take things to an extreme and defeat the purpose of interacting in a community. It’s like gambling.
It’d be better not to have that option, to avoid going the way of Reddit with karma farming bots reposting everything so they can sell their high karma accounts.
The worst was when the cryptocurrency subreddit started literally paying everyone for their karma. Over the course of a couple years, the useful criticism of bad ideas dried up, and so the people promoting bad ideas for profit took over.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

I’m confused, isn’t “karma” the upvote/downvote system? Because I’m still seeing it.
I think they mean account-scale points. As in the 30 points you get from this post and 20 from a different post total to 50 karma. Pretty core feature on Reddit and doesn’t exist on Lemmy.
Ah, that. Got it. Did people really check rando’s karma? I don’t think I ever looked up somebody’s karma, I don’t even really care about mine… Individual upvotes can give a nice dopamine rush from that sweet validation, though.
Here’s hoping fake internet points dies with Reddit.
Yeah, as an ex redditor, we don’t need that crap
Karma is tied to the person and is the sum of the score for all posts, or all comments. But it is actually counted by the server, just not displayed in the default UI. You can go /api/v3/user?username=ekZepp@lemmy.world and search for post_score or comment_score.
We have karma here

Black beans are the superior bean.
Fight me fediverse
All beans are good beans in the eyes of God.
I’m not religious I just thought that would be fun to say :)
Red beans and rice would like a word
Itd be cool if we can use the updoots we get as points toward stickers or some shit that we can give to ppl. Thats all ppl wanted for the 15+ years being on reddit.
I’m worried that it would create a reason for bots to spam the communities and farm for points.
This is my favorite one so far.

Mmmmbeans
should make the arrows into beans for a couple days
Permanently.
Upbeans and downbeans
Fun fact: the Lemmy backend does track Karma. As an instance admin I can pull it up from the database and rest assured I AM judging you.
Clearly propaganda. We will never have Karma here. Only beans.
I propose we call Karma “Beans”
I’ll take beans thank u very much
Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart. The more you eat the more you fart. The more you fart the better you feel, so let’s eat beans with every meal!
Beans, bean, the magical fruit, The more you eat, the more you toot, So eat your beans and have a good meal, And remember to fart after every meal.
That’s my regional variation.
