I think the lack of a karma equivalent, and thus karma farming, results in much more thought out and unique posts/comments.
Torn between replying with "this!" as a meme about how generic responses like that are used to farm karma and making a joke about how "of course someone with only 1 reputation point would say there's no karma equivalent." Idk how reputation works and if its only internal to instances or a shared across instances. But its possible it does become a karma equivalent in the future.
Reputation seems borked at the moment, it counts downvotes but not upvotes so I'm sitting at -34 right now lol
Boosting is the only way for reputation to go up. I boosted you for science.
I'm not sure I feel comfortable taking advice from a person with -51 reputation...
Ooo everybody come look at Mr. Non-controversial over here with his +40 reputation.
We have learned from experience.
Do you mind explaining what boosting is for us on Lemmy?
It adds your comment to my profile feed if anyone is following me. I think it's a way to work better with Mastodon like sites but I don't really know. I understand that @ernest is in the midst of changing that.
