One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don’t do anything, but we still crave them.

On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called “karma”

In moving on from Reddit, I’m burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.

How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?

    Highest “karma required” I’ve seen is, I believe, 100. That means the significant part of my burned karma is after the decimal point in 80.4k (or whatever the fuck, not checking)

    Exactly, it’s just a number. I’m so glad there is no global karma on Lemmy. Voting on single posts on their isolated merits is much more meaningful.
