All karma lost since v. 0.19

  I’m not sure the original designers of LEMMY believe you are supposed to be able to see your karma “score”. It’s not available in the web interface, and I think that’s on purpose. IDK for sure, but Karma may be detrimental to the quality of debate. Also making it into a popularity contest may also be detrimental to your enjoyment of being here. Personally I find the lack of a karma score relieving. Just relax and have a good time.

    Yeah, it’s really good. Karma is incentive to do stupid stuff like karma farming bots that just spam old top posts over and over etc…

      Karma was also a really handy tool for mods to keep away bots and trolls.

    I agree completely that this can have negative impact on discussions, stimulate karma farming etc. So I’m all for it to hide it. Would be nice though to completely skip it from the UI (of in this case Boost).

      I’m sure it’ll get removed. Voyager used to have it and I was shocked it disappeared a couple months ago in preparation for 0.19. Now it just shows post and comment counts.

  Lemmy has karma? Nah, keep up votes and down votes but don’t make it some accumulation number. That’s what drives enshitification. Turning that data into something accumulative right on the user’s profile causes click click phone dopamine seekers to then fuel that to behavior in social settings with apps because it gets th internet point dopamine.

      You’re username’s wrong. It should be e=mc^2

    I have fond memories of "competing" for high post counts back on forums, which just came down to talking a lot and easy wins like "what are you listening to" threads.

    Anyway yeah, the thing you don't want already exists here. It's not the end of the world if some people want to chase a number.

  It’s not tracked anymore as of 0.19 (“don’t serialize karma”). Dessalines talks about how it’s being removed (and should’ve been removed sooner) here.

    Oh huh, didn’t notice the value got zeroed out on Boost

    I guess that’s cool, the UI will need time to catch up

  Lemmy points were never supposed to be cumulative, you’re just using some app that did it themselves until whatever they used to gather the data changed.

  They’re moving to remove karma as it’s toxic and unimportant. Most just show your post/comment count now.

    But how will we know who is better than who…? I don’t want to have to go back to judging people by their physical characteristics again.

      You can discriminate them based on their instance, in a lemmy-esque twisted version of nationalism

  Oh no. Won't someone think of the imaginary internet points?!

  Lemmy has karma points?

    No

  I belive the total karma display was removed in 0.19. It now only shows the amount of posts and comments you created.

  All that grind for nothing. What will your friends think of you now?

  • e_mc2@feddit.nl ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Sure.

  you could jump to a different platform... kbin/mbin still expose 'reputation points'

  Have no idea how to check this in Jerboa.

  source

  • TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Jeroba never had the option to do so. In my experience only those apps that were used for reddit before had the ability to check karma.

    • 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Oh, cool… I’ve never thought of checking that anyway.

    • faintwhenfree@lemmus.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I never found an option in sync either. Not claiming it never had, just I never saw it.

  There’s Karma on Lemmy?

  • e_mc2@feddit.nl ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There was, for a short period.
