    Devs : let’s not do user follows to not make this a stupid popularity contest.
    OP : did someone say popularity contest ?

    Note that I myself follow a lot of users 😀 (just not lemmy ones, as it doesn’t work)

      I find this post too Reddit-like, honestly. What is this favourite user crap even, some kind of social media validation technique?

        I personally don’t see it as a popularity contest. I see it more as an opportunity to show appreciation to other users of this community.

          The difference with a popularity contest being?

            A popularity contest is based on competition and can be exclusionary. In this case, it’s not about saying “which user is better than X user”, it’s only about thanking them for their contribution (at least that’s how I have interpreted it).

              The main goal is to praise the most voted condidates, the others being diminished is only a side effects. Exactly how a popularity contest works.
