How sad of a human do you have to be to care about a stupid pointless number
It’s quite meaningful on a per comment basis to see how well received your contribution is, but the total is pretty meaningless.
It actually helps a lot when determining if another user is an alt or bot. I’d like to see this for that reason alone.
I guess that’s a fair use, but bots still did karma farming
I don’t care about the points I do care that I’m contributing in a meaningful and welcoming way tho
But people don’t up or down vote based on whether your contribution is valuable, they do it based on whether they like what you have to say. The the result being an echo chamber. If you just want people to parrot your own opinions and thoughts back at you I respect your decision but it sounds boring as shit to me.
Kind of a dick thing to say
I don’t care about the number but this viewpoint seems rather meanspirited.
It’s fun to turn it into a game of sorts. High numbers go brrrrrrr.
Some of the apps calculate it for you
It’s usually wildly off in my experience.
How do you know it’s wrong, out of curiosity? Like what is the best way to get the correct number?
Because it says 199 right now and I have one comment alone with 150+ and a post with ~135, plus 150 or so more comments most of which are between 5 and 30 and I don’t think any of which are negative. Like 3 days ago it said 500 something. I don’t know the best way to get a correct number, I personally don’t care tbh.
Edit: and please don’t take that as me being dismissive or an asshole, I hope you find a way to properly figure it out. I think I’ve seen folks say it’s in the Lemmy instance database but idk I just have the database running, I wouldn’t know where to start on how to check.
Interesting, yeah l wonder what’s up with that.
I’m using Memmy, my post “karma” is correct, and the comments seem plausible although I’m certainly not going to tally all of those up lol
Doesn’t Lemmy internally store the karma somewhere?
2,622. In Connect it showed me when I clicked your username.
wow thanks
Karma is for redditors.
I count my internet points.
I feel personally attacked
