I'm glad there's no karma, hopefully that'll mean less bots that steal posts, get loads of karma, then sell those accounts to people who use them to scam.
And, if you want to know if any of your posts or comments were well received, which is helpful and useful information, the upvotes it gets are still here.
Good riddance. The karma system on Reddit is worthless. It's supposed to let users flag spam and bot content, but it's used as an agree/disagree button in reality. Users still lose posting privileges from having low karma and have to farm it in "free upvotes" subreddits... which spammers and bots happily abuse.
hm. not sure if lemmy instance. any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo. not saying it can't happen(maybe added as an option) but something else like kbin would also work.
It’s libre, you can fork it and create your own if you want feature not in the main repo. “any lemmy change would have to go into their main repo” is not correct.
ah sure. forking works. But then you'd have to always pull down changes from upstream and resolve conflicts, unless you don't plan to update and gain security fixes. Lots of work for just one change.
This meme format can be a bit confusing in this context. Since using Krita to make memes is based, by calling OP the "least based Lemmy user" he implies that all Lemmy users are even more based, especially compared to users of other social media platforms which he makes no such claims about.
i see - yes that confused me.. But more interestingly - I see itjust.works is up and running! Just read in a comment that the owner was looking for names. Seems like he found something good xD
Yeah that's where I found the server lol. I was looking for a general server but didn't want to overload the main ones, and when this server got started up with this name I knew it was the one for me xD.
Heh, jokes on you I'm a 2/5 guy, 2 Posts, 5 Comments and I'm going to keep flexible all the time that in at 2/5 and the others are only at 1/7 or somethingike this
No need to test the filter like that, the full list of banned words can be found in the code. This filter actually did some damage to Lemmy's reputation in 2020 as Lemmy was originally a closed community with strict moderation and little understanding of federation. The admins wanted a quick way to make lemmy.ml look unappealing to chaotic right-wing users. The filter is only present on this instance now, it's no longer hard-coded into all instances.

That was actually something I used to help decide if an account was a bot or not, but it was only a minor part of the puzzle.

Screw Karma, honestly a terrible system of promoting content to others.

Just track your own karma: go through all your comments each day and add the upvotes :P

The cool thing about federation is someone could add this to their own instance

The best thing about Lemmy is that people don't repost crap or act weird for fake internet points.

Just be happy that people enjoyed it!
Even if an account karma system was implemented, the federated nature of the site would make it easily exploitable/pointless anyway.

literal swear words aren't banned but wh0re is?
nachtigall@feddit.de · 10 pts · 3y
Swear words that are mainly used as interjections (shit, crap) aren't that bad IMO. Slurs like wh*re are usually targeted someone.
original_ish_name@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y
karma wh0res deserve it
