Yeah I always thought the k in kbin represented “karma bin” so you can have a reddit alt that still had profile karma. That’s why his speech gets cut off in the first response “ye-” like saying “yes but kbin has…” etc.

It does, but it’s wrong. How does it work?

you forgot that it’s an inverted pentagram, rotated 33 degrees counterclockwise…
which is an unmistakable freemasonry symbol

You joke, but those Facebook boomers will 100% say this shit

Wait a minute… They’re commies!

The difficult part is that only a user’s original home server tracks karma effectively.

While there was still a websocket API (which could bypass browser limitations) I wrote a quick script that collected the karma for an entire page of comments from each user’s home server. It worked quite well, but I can understand why the devs left it out.

Now that the websocket API is dead, I don’t think there’s a good way to do this from the browser anymore. I could set up a small API server that would send the necessary requests for me and implement some kind of caching, but that sounds like too much effort for something only I would use anyway.

Yeah I recognize it’s a decision from the admins here, but it’s one I approve of heavily for reasons said when I posted this to the fediverse channel. The motivation behind posting is less tainted this way.

It shows that we are all connected (with gay demons)

That is in fact, the right answer.

Moreover, it’s meant to indirectly be a visual of this idea, the “network effect”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe’s_law The more connections, the more diversity.

This doesn’t make sense without karma…

Take my gold kind stranger! 🥉
