Ugh, I started in the middle of June last year and I have over 3K. Apparently I have no life.

I’m not sure there’s less incentive to post generally, but there’s less incentive to repost old stuff, misleading headlines, etc.

Intentionally, Lemmy itself doesn’t total your upvotes and downvotes. You can go to your profile and see them for a given comment or post, but not an overall total. Some apps do show it.

Most of us agree that Reddit karma caused people to post and say things just for the karma, which was an overall negative. People put too much value in the score. So while we have upvotes and downvotes, they’re deemphasized, and that’s on purpose.

Yeah, for this one I was meaning the alternate account part. But this one is just the latest in a string, most of which were vulnerabilities or flaws in the architecture. I could have been more clear though.

Hopefully this crap is contributing to Lemmy overall being stronger. If the developers can plug the holes in the overall architecture so systemic vulnerabilities are minimal, and people make accounts on multiple instances and just switch when one is down, it might take the “fun” out of taking an instance down.
