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] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

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

do people actually care that much about upvotes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Some. Idgaf. I just like sharing memes.

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