Pro tip: Join an instance that disables downvotes. I thought I’d miss seeing downvotes, but I don’t at all. It feels so much more pleasant to browse without them.
Pro-tip, on kbin we have no upvotes/downvotes. Only favorites and reduces.
“Karma” was a concept that was easily manipulated and abused on other, closed, platforms.
Lemmy.one observes no downvote system whatsoever, only upvotes. Downvotes don’t even federate from other instances, so everything is more or less upvoted or remains at 1. I love it.
Having no downvotes makes it easy to ignore upvotes as well. Plus, no cumulative karma is nice. Unlike reddit, I don’t really notice or care if I get upvotes or not.
Wow. I wouldn’t have expected so much downvoting for this meme.
Folks in this thread know this is left-of-liberal critique of liberals, right?
Yes, we do. We just think it’s totally wrong
We know, it’s just not original, funny or true

And my karma on this comment is positive? I’m so confused right now.

Still not a fan of upvotes, again its something that’s easily manipulated.
I enjoy the no upvotes/downvotes. Boost is where its at.

Why yes, a lot of us aware of the far left attempting to gaslight left of centres into agreeing with them. Quite a common occurrence actually.
