I’ve been posting a lot lately But I seem like I’m controversial no matter what I post. I came from Reddit with over 2 million karma during the API controversy. Should I keep posting or give up on Lemmy?
Lemmy is VERY hateful. In some cases more than Reddit because we have less people but more radical. the amount of hate one can get just because it mentioned specific words is insane. There is no debate here, if you mention a couple of specific topics and trigger words you are sent to hell.
And I’m not even talking about .ml, that place is psychotic.
More content is good in a system like Lemmy which is designed around filtering. So continue posting!
I think Lemmy (or the Fediverse in a broader sense) really benefits from everyone in it to just output as much as possible. More interaction, more content, more people coming for that content. If somebody does not like what you have to say they can just block you (or if it’s really hateful be banned)
What you should do is stop caring about “karma”, it has no value (even more so here, it’s not even a thing). Don’t do things to get likes, do them because you like doing them and/or think they can help others.
Over 2 million karma. Ooh La La dork jk
All posting here is useful at this point
I have you at +10, so you’re at least posting things I find meaningful. That being said, you post a lot of political things, so expect to bring many sides of the conversation to light. The fediverse has more types than Reddit.
how do you score another person? I didn’t know that was a feature
On the voyager app there is a feature that shows the upvotes you’ve given someone (as a green number next to their name). Unless they are a troll, in which case it would probably be a negative number and red.
It’s nothing crazy. He just spends a couple of weeks following you around and going through your stuff when you aren’t home.
Can ya tell 'em to stop moving my bloody remote then!
Ok, I’ll start removing the batteries instead and place it where it was then.
Ghngrhnggrhn.
Always finding more diabolical ways. 😉
You have to remember to keep your remote clean. Some people never clean their remotes and he ends up pushing them all over the house trying to lick the remotes clean.
None of us are useful to Lemmy because Lemmy is not “useful.” Lemmy is a shit-pile of all of our combined thoughts and efforts. So, while no social media site is “useful,” Lemmy brings us a place to be entertained and informed/misinformed.
Most of your posts are shit. Most of my posts are shit. While we each usually shit in our own corners, we occasionally look at each other’s shit and say, “hmmm… This shit stinks.” Or, “this shit is a little nutty and I like that!” And even less frequently, we cross paths while shitting and our shit combines to create a new type of shit that other people can enjoy.
So, don’t try to measure your Lemmy “usefulness” based on karma, and instead focus on the shit. I often appreciate your shit, and your username always gives me a chuckle. Whether anyone likes it or not, all of our shit makes Lemmy’s shit the shit it is.
There is is, listen to uncle/auntie fartographer.
Well that was shitty. I like it. Thank you Sir or Madame Fartographer.
I appreciate you, @return2ozma@lemmy.world and if you left us it would be a major loss.
I pay no attention to down-voters. The growing popularity of the fediverse brings as many bad people with it as good ones.
608? That’s my area code 😆
@return2ozma@lemmy.world you are appreciated!!
Thank you! I’ll keep on keeping on
I generally appreciate what you’re doing
Are you useful? How would I get to Ozma without you?
Iffor one am deeply offended by this post. Deeply offended. It has ruined my day. I am now crying.
Only you can answer that.
Let go of the thought that updoots matter and you will find harmony.
I see people complain about you a lot, but I’ve never felt like anything you’ve contributed to Lemmy has been negative or harmful.
Let the haters hate. Block exists for a reason. If those losers blocked you and every other superposter who provides content they’d complain that nobody posts anything.
As you said, you can’t make everyone happy no matter what you do. Just do what you feel like you want to do right now.
