That...should be intolerable for redditors, you'd think this would finally make them leave.
I tested just writing "Luigi" and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what's ok to say.
Not the karma 😱 Bunch of weirdos
I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.
When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn't allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.
When I hear of a Redditor be like this I yearn to do things…
How much bullying at school must have taken place for someone to… no actually I remember there were people at school like this and this was the reason they were bullied in the first place
Absolute losership of the highest order
Words cannot describe how subhuman Redditors are
Orange sludge not even fit to lubricate the smallest gears of the society.
Well anyway, one has to enjoy the great sunny weather today with bbq and sun baths on my summer property so that’s about the amount of attention this topic deserves.
The fuck is wrong with you? Karma is designed to be addictive and make you want to make content for reddit. It's why the amount of karma per post is capped so hard
Well then have some modicum of self control and respect and do not fall straight into their stuff.
Besides, it’s not even about karma you see. It’s just that these “people” if you can call them that, are most opinionated yet most moronic units you could ever come across.
No sympathy for Redditors and their precious accounts
"Just don't get addicted to the thing designed to be addictive. It's easy bro."
Stop feeding the troll.
I don't think they're trolling, this seems to genuinely be their belief and warrants discussion. The poster mentioned recently that they have autism, and as a neurodivergent person myself I can attest that it often takes some back-and-forth to realize when I'm wrong.
Certainly feels like trolling.
Yep, with the recent responses I now agree with you.
Are you stalking me weirdo?
Besides of course I only share my genuine beliefs on the internet. They are always at least 70% true.
Why would I make something up? Not worth the effort. Unless you are some kind of pathetic karma farmer from AiTa or rElATIoNshIPs aDviCe. I would genuinely kill myself out of embarrassment if I was.
Do you even realize how far you have fallen if you farm some internet points and debate politics in the chambers of frikin Reddit?
Just don’t be a loser
If they didn't leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren't going anywhere.
Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.
Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.
I did. I got banned for "Musk fuming is fatally toxic". The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.
