Itโs because Reddit specifically optimizes the site so that upvotes give you the maximum dopamine and keep you hooked on it like a crack. Most corporate social media thrive on keeping their users hooked through cheap tricks.
Lemmy Marxist Leninist Stalinist Maoist dev on the other hand doesnโt care or isnโt even able to do this because he doesnโt have an army of psychology experts to design it that way
So no you donโt get anything out of karma but your brain thinks you do and every aspect of the site is built to maximise this. I hate it
To be honest dark elves are either bloodthirsty capitalists, bigoted isolationists, conservative acolytes or all of the above. What a wonderful people <3... ekhm of course, how outrageous
You see, this is the crux. They are cool. They are cooler than you. Also, they identify as Dunmer so they are inherently superior racially than the farming tools in particular but also any other race really
Great comment, great moderation. Also by the way it has come to my attention that your instance bans/warns users that merely upvote discovery hate posts? Or was it some other Star Trek instance?
Surprise, surprise. Some chunk of Reddit annoyances stem from kids running around amok.
Then moderators make many stupid rules to try to increase quality and overmoderation takes hold
In short time it becomes increasingly annoying to browse let alone post to get past the anti teen rules filter. Not to mention all the young hormones commenting some stuff at you like it is school break slander or smh
One can always change instance though so it isnโt doom and gloom. The kids will have Lemmy.world and nice, enjoy it and have fun. It is the club penguin of Lemmy instances. We knew this would happen
Well anyone can be anonymous itโs about the idea not some kind of elite hermetic group, itโs all of us and only we (the people) can save ourselves from the authoritarians
Me not, I never really belonged on that site. I may have browsed it, maybe made some posts but I never truly was a Redditor, never graduated from a lurker. I never had the right mindset for that, nor enjoyed the lame jokes, not to mention I am holding many wrong opinions and karma means nothing to me.
This on the other hand, is the right place where I can truly, honestly articulate myself without getting banned.
There is even more obnoxious minority within the reddit that is my country subreddit. They are some weird amalgamation of incels and worst aspects of internet leftism sprinkled with solid amount of moderator authoritarianism and atmosphere of eternal suffering and wallowing. It is r/Polska btw
The only annoyance with lemmy I have is again the well known brand of internet leftism and glorification of communism. I try to filter this crap out mentally but it is hard to treat some group as a whole seriously, when they unironically cite Marx in 2025.
I might have to actually seek shelter in some thematic Internet forum and let all these groups destroy each other. 20 years should be enough for all of them to die out considering how unhappy they all seem
I donโt like constant ccp propaganda efforts on Reddit either
I hate anime but I enjoyed mad max fury road. It lets you appreciate innate insanity of surviving as a human that's only temporarily suppressed by advanced civilization goodies. 9 meals away my friend, 9 meals away
Humans are fundamentally crazy and I love it. We detonate massive amounts of explosives in the sky once a year?? for some reason, just cause we can. 12:00 at new years eve is the essence of humanity. Louder, brighter, higher, make it visible from the cosmos
We invented nukes for some reason which crazily is a fundament of global peace. WTF
There are no crazier motherfuckers in Milky Way I bet my car on that
Ay high quality bat poop picture. Perfect addition to lemmy.world admin HDD. Do you have other angles?
