On Reddit, my karma was always weighted more on the question side than on the comment side. I felt bad for not being a valuable contributor to people's lives rather than being selfish and always asking things for myself. Lemmy has gotten rid of that point system so now I feel like I can feel free to ask as many questions as I need without having to balance my karma. Also, I have noticed that I participate so much more on this platform than I ever did on Reddit.
