That's my same thought too, on Reddit you're always scared of "saying the wrong thing" because your fake internet points will go down
Now we have infinite fake internet points.
can we even see how many points we have tho
We can even hide the fake internet points!
I like see my little piles of upvotes though. But maybe it's bad because ultimately it means I'm giving importance to the external validation of strangers, and the flipside of that is being easily affected by downvotes too. It might be better to hide scores (in profile settings). But I also kinda don't want to because it shows someone read my comment/post and I didn't waste my time, even if nobody replies.
omg i can troll now no downvotes omg nice!
I just downvoted you. But you can't see it bwahahaha!!
i'm not on beehaw tho, i could see it, if it had federated correctly, but it seems it hasn't cuz:
You can, but that doesn't make it consequence free. You know that bans exist, especially for a more egregious trolls.
omg i can't troll ill get banned sad sad :C
The good thing is the karma system is no longer here to torment you. You also won't be shadowbanned for arbitrary reasons like on Reddit. I personally do prefer downvotes to use them against bad faith discourse or trolls (there was a user posting female scat pics on random communities in lemmy.world)
What's funny is that I see that people down voted you for that comment.
I never cared about karma on reddit so I just said what I wanted and didn't care. Here, so far, haven't dealt with anyone just being randomly aggressive for no reason so, at least I hope, my comments have been fairly neutral.
