Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D

I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc

    I still firmly believe one of the worst things to happen to the internet, besides pop-up ads, is up and down votes. Nothing exposes a misanthrope quicker than forcing them to comment instead of passively downvoting everything they see. Which makes it easier to remove them from the party.

      I think you’ve got the wrong idea about misanthropes. But who cares? You’re only interested in excluding people who disagree with you and reinforcing an echo chamber for yourself.

      You’re just as much a source of toxicity in these forums as those you wish you could ban from them.
