Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

We do not do that here. We do NOT give monetized awards or bring trite rituals here. SPRAY SPRAY

Maybe it's not really for the best, but I feel like it should be good to show support for the community that brought a comment. Maybe a (honor system) pledge to donate to the instance of the commentor or the instance of the poster?

That's actually a quite cool idea.

then don't think with money!

what if after we made 20 posts or 100 comments we could give one post/comment gold?

that'd be fun!

That encourages bot or otherwise low-effort comment spamming which we also don't want.

let me dream that at least one online community has the decency to not try to grind the fun away out of a simple feature

or make it upvotes then, 200 post upvotes & 500 comment upvotes

It would only promote karma whoring. I mean, I'm bad enough already, do you guys actually want to incentivize me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

do people actually care that much about upvotes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Some. Idgaf. I just like sharing memes.

I'd incentivize Flying_Squid or SatansMaggotyCumFart, not you though.

You will find yourself quickly earning my praise with such posting.

Yeah then if you wanted more to give away you can buy 20 gold for 5.99
