That’s probably a good reason not to use Wefwef 🤦
Here, your comments can be upvoted and downvoted, but it’s purposefully not totaled and kept separate from your profile. I don’t know why the devs of that app decided to total them all together – that total is your karma and people did tie their self-worth and their social standing to their karma. It’s what made Reddit so toxic
We all better go say something to the Wefwef devs and make them take that shit off
If any devs ever implement karma into Lemmy, I will shut down my subs and leave.
I mean that with 100% seriousness. Karma is one of the most evil concepts ever conceived in the history of the internet. It brings out the darkness in a motherfucker.
What we really need are for the artists and the gamers and the influencers and the mathematicians and the communities of all kinds to band together, diversify skills, get at least a few trusted members with web dev skills and have the groups democratically control their own instances.
We need democratic control of the internet. Fuck authoritarian centralized websites, they’re just as bad as authoritarian governments.
Oh. Well, I think mine might be the only game in town on this instance so far. Part of the reason why I made it. Site’s still new and growing.
Um, from the way the fediverse works, you can see messages and such from other instances like lib.lgbt, but I am not sure if you can directly post there from one server to another. Your posts get sent to the other servers for viewing like how emails get sent to other servers so your recipient can read them, and that’s the most I’ve been able to make sense of it so far.
I started Real LGBTQ earlier and it’s picking up steam, you can come hang out with us. It’s pretty peaceful.
In terms of instances, I found lib.lgbt and it seems pretty nice too.
Can we have a talk about that? Please for the love of all that is holy, don’t actually display karma scores in wefwef. Please. :(
