MODERATORS
I get where you're coming from. You could revisit the contributions you've made and the messages and replies you've received. The difference is that those ARE meaningful and hopefully in a good way. I think Reddit actively pushes the concept of karma because it's an great engagement metric and they love that.
My opinion is that Reddit is captured and driven to push engagement for advertising revenue at the expense of meaningful interaction. Lemmy is a platform where that engagement metric is only intrinsic to the individual. People are here because they want to have meaningful conversations? Maybe I'm dreaming
If you're dreaming, we're sharing the same dream.
That’s a good point. I was just thinking on it since I recently reached 500 posts. Might go scroll through them and look at some of the comments again
