There’s some misinformation floating around regarding Lemmy not having a karma system. While many have discovered otherwise, this is for those who may not have.

While it’s not exposed in the Lemmy default user interface, Lemmy does have a fully functional karma system and it is visible in third party clients such as WefWef and Memmy.

Do with that what you will.

    But not ‘being a dick’ is far too subjective in a global village… The world does not beat to one drum.

    I have to stand on eggshells with my language around USamericans as an example.

      While I hear what you’re saying, it’s really not as complicated as you’re making it out to be.

        I really don’t think you do, you are being incredibly closed minded and sticking your head in the sand. Because it has no* effect on you (yet).

          That is a bold assumption to make. I’ve absolutely been affected by it on Reddit, and I’ve been banned from subreddits from saying the “wrong” things. Hell, I’m a lesbian who was banned from r/ActualLesbians because I said lesbians are attracted to women and not non-men.

          I’m not sticking my head in the sand.

            That sounds nothing like what we are talking about at all. Weird knee-jerk reaction. I feel like you are being a dick about this.

                  Are you seeing my point now?

                  Have you seen anyone downvoting you? Even when you’re acting like a stubborn fool, your karma for this conversation hasn’t been negatively impacted.

                    Someone has been downvoting me every time I get a response from you on each comment.
