I hand out up votes like candy because engagement is how we're going to get new users and kill the other site. I'd rather people karma farm here than by putting money in the pockets of the ultra-rich tbh

Here have a downvote. Enough of those and you get censored so lemmy can become an echo chamber by censoring anything unpopular, eg someone liking a bad movie.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Trust, lemmys already kind of an echo chamber, but it's our echo chamber so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Linux Propaganda Machine

(I mean its true, y'all know it)

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

You're right, the Linux propaganda is true

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Oh it absolutely is but you don't need to make it worse.

to be fair though, getting a 1000+ upvote post on Lemmy feels like whatever drug Musk is on constantly

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 72 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's no way everyone on Lemmy has voted on your post twice!

[–] match@pawb.social 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

oh, i mean, i don't personally know the feeling. i am just looking at my 500ish upvote post and sighing wistfully

The trick is to post more Linux stuff, Lemmings love their Linux.

Add some anti-capitalist rhetoric and you're cooking

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 days ago

They already said Linux

If you can find Linux-themed can of beans being produced by an employee-owned cooperative organisation then I think you might hit the jackpot

Some legend did it with a can of beans. In fact we’ve had posts in the past that got a few thousand, but they are less common these days.

Karma farming is horrible.

Irony is horrible

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 days ago

I was unsure about the change back when 'Karma' counts were removed from Lemmy. I don't think that I have missed them ever, as a user, mod, or admin.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 29 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Can't say I've ever seen that happen.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Upvote my comment. After 300+ I post feet pic.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Upvote my comment to 300+ or else I post feet pic

Edit: you people had your chance. a photo of corgi feet

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Upvote this man.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 4 points 3 days ago

I upvote this man’s wife.

i think user total upvotes/downvotes is public, so people can check it out if that's their thing

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I was told by an admin that admins can see what everyone upvotes and downvotes and that they're going to give mods that access in the future.

[–] scott@loves.tech 17 points 4 days ago

@pelespirit Because Lemmy is federated, your upvotes and downvotes are also sent to different platforms, which may display them.

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

How long until people get banned from various communities for voting on something unrelated?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 9 points 3 days ago

Mods can see votes from Tesseract

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Sorry, I'm not being clear. Not that you can see general upvotes and downvotes, but I could see everything you personally have upvoted or downvoted. So if someone in a community I mod is downvoting everything, I could see that and ban them.

Edit: Or maybe you're saying that I can do that there?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 days ago (9 children)

As a mod, you can see who votes what in your community using Tesseract

What is this "Karma" they speak of ?

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Motivation for chronically online karma farmers who post the most worthless and agreeable content only in order to have line go up.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Looks like karma shouldn't be a thing then, thanks for the explanation

Karma-farming on Lemmy makes basically no sense because it doesn't even natively report it. I installed a Firefox add-on that tabulates it but it's slow and clunky. Functionally no one sees a user's karma.

I do miss seeing my total points even though it means nothing. Number go up means brain feel nice.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Unironically the simplest explanation for not allowing rich people to be rich XD

I also like it when number go up
