I got bad news... Whores have a lot of sex. And get paid for it.

I don't know what you are.

[–] TeamAssimilation 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OP's an open source whore, obviously.

Does that mean anyone can have sex with him?

Apply some CSS to make it more pleasing. I hear paperbag-with-holes.css works wonders

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Now it's only a matter of time until some hackers replace it with paperbag-with-gloryholes.css it's a very well known vulnerability with that files security

[–] Kinglink@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Any type of sex. And if he can't do it, someone else can fork him ....

Yeah I'm not going to continue down that path... my own analogy now creeps me the fuck out.

We left Reddit to only talk about Reddit. Fuck sake lads, lasses and nb’s

[–] tr0nix@lemm.ee 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But that’s the point of having a community. We get to complain together right guys?

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And op is complaining about complaining, complaieception!

I think that will improve over time. A lot of people here are fresh off Reddit's burning ship. I think given a couple weeks people will settle in and Reddit will fade into the background.

[–] killallq@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Oh, it's gonna take a lot longer than a couple weeks, unless all the Reddit refugees leave in that time.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What could be more shitty to post about than Reddit?

[–] DrSanta@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Remember when Reddit was good? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[–] Ser_Salty@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lois, Reddit is doing worse than that time I was in charge of Warner Brothers

I never got the purpose of karma. You can't spend it, it's just a pointless number. A few subs used it, fire whatever reason, as a numbers threshold for entry, but getting karma was so trivially easy even without bots that it literally accomplished nothing in that regard.

[–] myusernameisokay@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Not that I ever cared about karma, but I can see why some people did. It plays into peoples need to be liked. Karma associates a number with how well your post is doing. Bigger number = more people liked your post. Basically quantifying how well liked your post is and then gamifying it.

Your brain sees the reward (karma) and gets a hit of dopamine. In theory this creates a spiral of encouraging you to post more contet for more dopamine hits. More content pulls in more users...

[–] SamXavia@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Guessing they just try and post as much as possible to get there post numbers up lol

[–] dub@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I feel called out. I swear it's just to engage the community more!!

in the old forums you would see both totals and metrics based on things like join data. ex. ppd - posts per day

The other thing you would have were signatures and account badges/tags/awards.

I'm so glad Karma is gone. Just overall dumb. Like a achievement score on Xbox. It's not real and doesn't mean anything.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It’s not real and doesn’t mean anything.

B-b-b-but! My e-peen! How else are people going to know that I did stuff?

At least there's a rewards system for achievement score. I never got anything for all that sweet karma I got with my massive insights and funny quips.

That's why I stopped being insightfully funny.

[–] antonim@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I never got anything for all that sweet karma

Oh, but you could.

I see your strategy. Double comments to rack up those sweet sweet invisible comment points!

Awww, you are not a whore! Whores get paid.

What you are is a karma slut. :P

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

If there’s no more karma… are they just a slut?

[–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

For a little I while liked watching my karma gradually climb, with a feeling that I was contributing something. But... then I realised that one shit-post on a popular subreddit can routinely 'earn' more karma than 1000 high quality posts on smaller subreddits. ... And with that realisation, I no longer saw any value in the karma score whatsoever.

I think it's best that it's gone. It skewed people to make low-effort posts in high-traffic places rather than high-effort posts in low-traffic place.

I had a ton of karma points back in the old place. I think they sent me a notice saying I was in the top 5%. Didn't give a shit. Don't miss it. Just don't care at all. Glad to be here with you.

[–] bad3r@lemmy.one 17 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Ngl Reddit naming is much better. Terms like karma and subreddit are goings to be missed.

Is this one of the endless hints that there is no karma in Lemmy? Have you seen the little up and down arrows under every post and comment? One of my comments recently got forty-five down arrows and I'll see how many dislikes this comment gets.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But there's no total karma for the profile, i think that's what OP meant

[–] Ilikecheese@vlemmy.net 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Except for there is. It’s just most apps don’t allow you to easily see it, but some (wefwef in particular) do.

I've never been a karma whore, just a normal whore.

I was a reddit lurker for 6+ years and now I have nothing to feel self righteous about

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I used to tell myself I didn't care about karma, but God's truth is that it made me happy to know that people enjoyed my comments. I did things I'm not proud of for those red arrows.

Now I don't want karma back. I'm free of the invisible chains that were weighing me down!
