How is lemmy different when we can still see these points. I'm just not understanding, I'm sorry.
Because the points only relate to the post, not you. You can't see your aggregate total from all posts combined, which would otherwise incentivize you to post things that will add to your total "high score".
You still have a minor incentive to post a high scoring comment, but it's only per-comment. If you feel like pleasing the masses, go ahead and play to their wants and needs. You might get a lot of points for it, and it'll feel nice.
But if you wanna tell em how you really feel and put them in their place, you can just not care about your points for that post. It's whatever. There's no danger that your -478 points is going to drag down your total, discouraging you from ever posting something that upsets the status quo.
I think I'm confused because I actually can see how many point everyone and myself has accumulated.
It could possibly be your frontend. What app / webapp are you using for Lemmy?
