What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, "this" comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers
You're viewing a single thread.
I'd say people worrying about Karma.
this /s
Permanently Deleted
As someone who is incredibly tone deaf in written conversation, please don't get rid of the /s. It really does help
I don't agree,
/sis immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.Also, really often something that is "obvious sarcasm" for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet
Maybe internet forums aren't the best place for people that can't recognize context.
Why should we exclude neurodiverse people from a space when it's easy enough to make it accessible?
Apparently reddit and lemmy are the only places they socialize, so whatever.
No but they're here (and we should be being as inclusive as possible if we want Lemmy to be successful), so it makes no sense to shut the doors on them just because a couple of people don't like seeing /s .
Do you active dislike neurodiverse people or you just prefer to surround you only with people you can relate to?
Wtf kind of questions are those?
The ones that arise from your attitude in light of your previous answers.
First off, you're commenting on a conversation from over a month ago.
Second, no I have no ill feelings towards anyone at all.
Third, yes I do prefer to surround myself with people I can relate to, just like every one else in the world does.Welcome to lemmy by the way, I hope you enjoy it.
Try to not be so negative here.
Just because you don't care about certain groups of people who are not actively damaging for the world, that doesn't mean that they should be excluded from here.
Sadly, I understand your point, but feel that I need to remind you of Poe's Law. I think the /s is required because shit is all too real
I was going to post that you're lucky you included the /s, but I just realized we don't have karma so it doesn't matter anyways. Such a nice feeling...
Fuck that /s If you're unable to grasp context without it then just move on to a different discussion.
Even the /s I wouldn't bring it here
karma (or upvotes-downvotes aka simple karma) shouldn't be a reason to disallow someone from using a lemmy community
I don't know what form of karma Wander meant, but for me the "global karma" numbers are the worst part of reddit. People constantly posting stupid things or self-censoring to try to make number go up.
Requiring minimum positive karma is stupid when it can be gamed so easily.
Someone with very negative karma is likely a troll.
upvoted to give you more karma
What exactly was the karma problem? I never saw it being a huge issue
It becomes an issue if you imagine people on social media do what they do for karma in the same way people in real life do what they do for money.
In other words, if you have a deficient or extremely narrow theory of mind, you will think karna is the cause of everything
Is there even a total karma counter anywhere at all?
Not on Lemmy but there is on kbin (it's called "reputation", I think). I'm hoping it doesn't get implemented here, but I guess we can see if it negatively affects kbin content as we've got a direct comparison.
