Anybody else gets more upvotes in here than over THAT site?
I could swear to God I never hit the 10 mark over there. In here as long as it isn’t a “^this” I get 10-20, and solidly hit the 50 mark if I comment something truly meaningful.
The snippy comments were the worst, sometimes even completely off of normal comments too like a snippy response to “Oh my God, I love high dives too! They are somewhat more rare these days, but a lake around here still has a few jump platforms. The only other one I’ve been to was in a swim complex in Germany”
Personally it depends. Back in reddit, my quippy remarks/attempts to be funny seem to get a decent upvote rate, but for more serious comments/questions/discussions, lemmy definitely has more interaction
i’ve said this before but because there’s a small community vibe across lemmy and kbin it’s much easier to be heard and seen. a lot of people are interested in building communities here which drives engagement way up.
Something important to realize is, upvotes attributed to a profile was once designed to place profiles on a trust scale. A person with more upvotes in general would simply, and naturally, be more listened and trust than a person with low or even negative upvotes.
The problem is our brain can easily fall in the trap which has been used by marketing for decades now : the reward circuit.
Thus people prone to make a lot of money abused that, and even raised the problem to an other level with bots and competition. They did so because it creates addiction. And what addiction does create ? Spending money. So you really don’t want profile accumulated upvotes on Lemmy.
Uh… I was one of the people with a bot army of novelty accounts that had super fucked up names lol
I evolved from karma whoring into whatever the fuck this is called. Accounts like VaginalPimpleFetish would just show up and say nice things to random people until it got banned.
One upvote means at least one person appreciates you. More than that, there are no karmas or anything. You can use the votes to see the most appreciated comments, though.
