Thank fuck. Those stupid internet points were a weird pissing contest anyway
Yeah making discussions into addictions, not because of the subject, but because of the good boy points was always stupid.
If there’s no karma, then what are the two numbers that “Thunder” displays next to my account age?
Is thunder a Lemmy browser?
Yes, but it’s only available via GitHub which means you gotta update it manually… No PlayStore or F-Droid atm afaik
If Android wasn’t whack it would be a very simple script to update it automatically from the GitHub, compiled from source.
Yeah :')
I’ve got the same with Memmy. I think these apps just add your upvotes and downvotes together to give you a score. Reddit, on the other hand, had a complex karma system, where the more upvotes/downvotes your post would get, the less those would be worth, so you couldn’t just get a massive karma score from just a couple popular posts
Yeah, and didn’t early upvotes count more than later ones?
There is a score kept in the backend, it just has no frontend in default lemmy and only exists if instance devs want to do something custom with it. Some apps are probably using it.
Yep, The Memmy IOS app has a lot of details on the profile page
This is why I don’t use thunder.
God I hated all the joke comments that wound up at the top with thousands of upvotes. Just one big circle jerk on many serious topics. I’m sure it’ll still occur in Lemmy to some extent but hopefully the lack of karma will help keep it down.

It also made participating in smaller subreddits a little less satisfying, even though I liked the conversations in those more.
There was just something about a random comment in a giant subreddit suddenly getting me sooo many points, more than I had made in months!
Logically I knew karma didn’t really matter, but big numbers gud!
I agree with your text I’m going to give you some good boy points
Give me all your updoots
Doot doot,
Insert image of pingu here. I cant do it on comnect for lemmy

All your upvotes belong to us.
I don’t know what’s going on here and at this point I’m to afraid to ask
Just remember, if you have a hot take , they don’t just ban you, they ban your entire server

I feel like I’m 13 again trying to figure out reddit, lol.
Was able to do it once, can do it again…
Who says I can’t have Karma!? Maybe I’ll get good luck by getting a lot of updoots here on Lemmy, just like how it worked on Reddit! Right?
But when I see people upvoting my shitposts, it still gives me the happy monkey hormones. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
No. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around and THAT’S what it’s all about!
Oh it’s coming lol. They already track vote counts on the back end. Several third party apps even show total “point” for posts and comments.
Example from my profile on Memmy:
And Thunder
Interesting all the ones I use don’t.
We can’t stop it I guess… That’s the power of open source
You want to stop, having a sorting algorithm ?
If there is no karma here, then how do I have a good afterlife in lemmy? /s
