Can't say I ever cared about karma. Lemmy reminds me of stripped down original reddit. Almost original. I remember when Reddit didn't even have thumbnails. Back then, there was a thing called memepool. You didn't know what you were going to get when you clicked on links on either site. There was a lot of fun unpredictable content and Reddit still meant you read it and we're vouching for it. It was like this whole world of quality stuff from really smart people. Thumbnails and subreddits ushered in a series of trashings and lead to intense divisiveness reddit never recovered from. . .

Oh my sweet summer child,!
No, there's karma. I've had more than a couple guys point out mine is negative.
Checks out
I wonder what you thought was evil. Probably something banal, but something Lemmy hates.
I vaguely recall it being something about refugees or Palestine
That makes sense. I still hold the opinion that illegal immigrants should be deported, and Hamas is awful.
Most people would agree with me, but most on Lemmy would not

Quality content? You mean the exact same stuff that’s on Reddit, often copied directly from Reddit?
800,000 “Trump bad! Look at this latest bad thing Elong did!” posts a day is not quality content
