The only thing I can think of that karma was good for was reducing spam by requiring a certain amount of karma to be allowed to post in a community. But that can still be done based on account age, so I hope karma isn't added to Lemmy
I don't see it as hate. I love kids, I love interacting with kids and want them to have wonderful spaces both online and off, but there is nothing wrong with enjoying adult-only spaces as well.
Every person that I've seen describe it says some variation of "they're fake marxists that support anything that opposes the west, include fascist and violent regimes." Conservatives use "woke" to refer to anything that opposes christofascist white supremacy, from gay pride parades to a black person appearing in a movie.
That phrase stuck out for me too, and supports my growing suspicion that the majority of people that claim to be marxists are actually just another group of fascist conspiracy theorists. I hope to be proven wrong.
I use "tankie" to refer to the type of people that claim to be Marxist but are actually just anti-West, like the ones that support Russia's love of genocide simply because Russia is opposing the western world. I'd love to have conversations with actual Marxists, I've just become increasingly less sure that they exist.
Why? I am a socialist democrat and don't would never support North Korea just because they claim to be a democracy. China is an authoritarian state that does nothing to support socialist ideals.
Odysee was acquired by Google in 2015, so it's unfortunately another corporate-run greed machine. PeerTube is decentralized though.

Same, I used Sync for years. Today was my last day with Reddit, long live Lemmy!
