There are some subreddits that REQUIRE a specific Karma level to post or comment. So I understand that and I think that is bullshit. Imagine posting something relevant on reddit but you get massively downvoted so you run like a little baby and delete it because you have to protect your karma total. Best thing about Lemmy is no karma bullshit. I have some posts or comments (that of course don’t violate Lemmy rules) but that get lots of downvotes and I couldn’t care less.
“I said what I said”
Considering you will often get permanently banned for saying the wrong thing in the wrong sub…I would say the problem goes far beyond simply counting Karma.
This doesn’t only apply to Reddit. Applies everywhere someone can be banned for something, even here on Lemmy.
You can get banned for voting on Lemmy.
Sometimes I wanna tell people what I really think about them but it’s not the karma/vote counts that stop me. It’s usually the rules about being civil. But god damn some people are infuriating.
I turned off my inbox notifications amd my experience got dramatically better lol
