I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.
I actually used an extension that hid karma scores.
Not even a little bit. I felt like Usher in the early 2000s, just drowning in … You get the idea.
Also your inbox blows up with post/comment replies - and they’re not snippy argument-starters either. Feels good man.
The snippy comments were the worst, sometimes even completely off of normal comments too like a snippy response to “Oh my God, I love high dives too! They are somewhat more rare these days, but a lake around here still has a few jump platforms. The only other one I’ve been to was in a swim complex in Germany”
Less people -> less upvotes ig
Personally it depends. Back in reddit, my quippy remarks/attempts to be funny seem to get a decent upvote rate, but for more serious comments/questions/discussions, lemmy definitely has more interaction
Stop caring about upvotes, you’ll live a happier life.
Right now upvote is just a metric for me to see how active the place is, otherwise don’t care
I treat it like an acknowledgement button for the replies I get.
No, you’re going to take my upvote and you’re going to like it! I DEMAND TO LEAVE POSITIVE IMPACT!
It’s actually not that different for me because I knew how to get points even in a huge thread; but I don’t want upvotes, I just want to talk and also don’t want a question to be downvoted and buried without being answered.
Something truly meaningful
I’m truly, completely, absolutely sorry
Not really but I have lost the care about upvote/downvote. Reddit has shown me - that caring for it, is BS.
In one moment you have it and the other moment, it’s gone. Because they can take it away, ban you etc.
I would even prefer it if there was an option to disable the visibility of the upvote/downvote.

One upvote means at least one person appreciates you. More than that, there are no karmas or anything. You can use the votes to see the most appreciated comments, though.
I do but I’m not actively trying to piss anyone off here, so I guess that it’s deserved?
You don’t get buried in other peoples’ comments as easily here
Enjoy your stay and stop worrying about updoots
i’ve said this before but because there’s a small community vibe across lemmy and kbin it’s much easier to be heard and seen. a lot of people are interested in building communities here which drives engagement way up.
Yep everyone here is much kinder, smarter and better looking
