MODERATORS
Can’t say I agree. I miss karma. Not because I want it, because I don’t care. But that imaginary internet point sure drives a lot of content - and even repeat content has a purpose to drive platform growth. I had like 1,000 subs and FREQUENTLY saw something for the first time that the tHiS iS a RePoSt people came out of the woodwork for.
Don’t worry, reposting will happen with or without karma! 😜
Not a bad thing imo. Not everyone spends all day on the internet. I probably spend more time than most people and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a meme that’s new to me and half the comments are bitching about it being a repost.
Yeah, I recognized a lot of reposts, but also posts that apparently had been going around for months or years but it was my first time seeing them, even though I was on reddit for half of every day.
I also miss karma a bit. I can live without it but seeing a score is nice. I will behave the same with or without here on Lemmy though. For some reason, I've really found my voice here on Lemmy and am much more active then when I was on Reddit.
Still, that being said, I do feel a boost when I look at my comments and see that number lol.
