Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content
-
Then why are there so many beans and jeans on my front page?
Just Value Content
Literally right there in the title.

Well guess I'm not using piefed. Still pissed about getting automatically temp muted on reddit years ago just for saying I didn't like skyrim that much.
oh ok so we're just allowing straight hate speech now cool

Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.
EDIT: I know there are upvotes and downvotes, but the problem with Reddit is you can't post in most communities if your karma or reputation is bad. This is a big problem because herd mentality prevails there and if ypu have unpopular opinions you're basically censored.
Lemmy isn't designed to milk ypur dopamine with notifications every 10 upvotes, so you focus more on posting valuable cont instead of farming for approval and upvotes.
There can be many reasons reddit sucks, but I'd argue its mostly because Spez is a mega douche and Reddit was captured by mods who had agendas and just silenced anyone who disagreed. Or they were paid to do it.

I just wanted to let everyone know there is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.
None of these imaginary points fucking matter.
So why don't you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.
I know I have.
(Lemmy is rad as fuck)

I just hope that Lemmy stays nice. I don't want it to reach 100 million+ users and be overwhelmed with RAGEBAIT and scams.
Instances will rise and fall, but we can always just crack open a cold one with each other and open a new instance.
No more switching services... finally!

Bots are already the ones posting most of the articles here. Disguised #ads are also on Lemmy and will become a problem if ever Lemmy grows substantially (which I don't believe will ever happen).

idk about you but psychologically i never chceckef my ksrma scote but still pay some attention to how an individual comment/submission is perceived. cuz i took the time to write it and it's cool if people like/understand it and it's "important" if they dont (at least important to my rat brains)
as a departure from this mentality, i will not edit the typos
I do this. I don't pay it too much mind, but it's helpful for seeing which posts or comments gain more traction.

Is this really the case? I find this unexpected. Lemmy seems to be friendly to the LGBTQ people, namely trans.
If what you say is true, we should probably address it somehow.
Depends on the instance.

Maybe. They might also mean you're an idiot.
Slashdot used to have a multidimensional voting system that would allow you to up or down vote something based on whether it was funny/insightful/correct, etc (can't remember the dimension). I wish we had something like that. Sometimes it would be useful to mark a comment as "funny, but also wrong"
Welcome: Quarkvotes
Up, down, charm, strange, top, bottomUp/down = Usefulness or relation to topic
Charm/strange = Agree/accurate or not
Top/bottom = Love/HateI vote you up-charm-top, btw

Not a bad set! I would add something related to "funny".
Also, separating agree (opinion) from accurate (factual) would be nice. But I guess you gotta keep it somewhat simple.

Sadly Reddit has been toeing the line and has been banning any accounts for "threatening violence" for any support of Luigi no matter how peaceful or non-violent or ANY criticism of Elon The Musky Husky
Heck even before my account was banned I was warned for "advocating violence" just for saying "It's understandable to wanna punch Nazis"
You can't ask a social network to support ideas that involve violence and murders.
I know Luigi is a hero for many but it was an illegal action. You can think any monarchy is anacronyst nowadays, but you can't go and shoot any of those useless humans that think they can be called king or queen like we were living in mediaeval timesAnd remember that any insurance system is not that different from a national system, you can convert one into the other any time.
The problems is with shitty brains which can go and spread their shitty ideas either here or there. Since national system can be so corrupted, it's ok to have a private way to clean them up from time to time. -

Let me suggest you don't become too attached to a mainstream digital tool
