Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?
Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?
Of course, that's to be expected, with people migrating from Reddit and all, but the title is kind of badly worded.
Feel there's a lot more argumentative and just kind of.. angry users on here. (have you seen Sync fans biting everyone's asses over saying money should be spent funding instances and not an app?)
Live laugh love Lemmy though :)

I think one of the problem is all the influx of apps and webUIs that display "karma" also known as points as a total. Now people are starting to follow some kind of mental herd of saying the right thing to not get downvoted.
I remember thinking karma was a neat system when I joined Reddit, but it only ended up creating a toxic atmosphere.
I get that a score system might be valuable for posts themselves, but I wish we didn't have them on individual profiles...
As a rule applied to myself, disabling of showing vote numbers is one of the settings I activate.
And make it a point to not look at "points" displayed by the app.
OP in this thread trying to tell me off because I caught a few downvotes like it's not the most reddit shit in this whole thread.
I also do not display scores. Just toxic, creates echo chambers.
Yeah it also creates fake opinions. People posting shit that agrees to what the majority says just to get a few more up votes. And dissent means being ostracized by being handed a mass down vote
