    This opinion has always been stupid. It has never been about “points,” it has been about reputation, the points were only ever meant as a shorthand representation of the reputation. So yes, Lemmy won’t give me your point total, but I can still see both your comments themselves and their “scores” that I might be able to gauge whether or not you have a reputation as somebody with meaningful contributions or as a contrarian edgelord.

      So you can’t actually judge a comment on its own but need Randoms (and bots) to tell you how you should interpret it.

      Definitely not the flex you think it is, and karma doesn’t exist here lol. “Reputation” doesn’t exist in a way that follows the account. Votes are exceptionally easy to manipulate. Keep assigning value to internet points and I’ll just keep pointing and laughing.

        What an absolutely insane stretch that has nothing to do with what I said. Clearly you aren’t here to discuss, you’re just here to soapbox. But I didn’t sign up for your asinine TedTalk, so I’m just gonna block you so I never have to waste my time on you again.

          That’s probably your best bet champ.

          Enjoy fretting about made up points on a federated platform that doesn’t track them and usually doesn’t even correctly display them unless you interact with the comment, peak redditard.
