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.
Stop caring about upvotes, you’ll live a happier life.
No, you’re going to take my upvote and you’re going to like it! I DEMAND TO LEAVE POSITIVE IMPACT!
Right now upvote is just a metric for me to see how active the place is, otherwise don’t care
I treat it like an acknowledgement button for the replies I get.
Not really, but less folk to upvote so understandable.
No idea. I’m not worried about em. This space feels way more like home now though. Almost like that other place a decade or more ago.
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.
Maybe the solution is to show that “something” (that on Reddit was known as karma) only to other users and never ever to yourself 😄
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 do but I’m not actively trying to piss anyone off here, so I guess that it’s deserved?
Not really but I have lost the care about upvote/downvote. Reddit has shown me - that caring for it, is BS.
In one moment you have it and the other moment, it’s gone. Because they can take it away, ban you etc.
I would even prefer it if there was an option to disable the visibility of the upvote/downvote.
