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.
Nope. For whatever reason, I was drowning in upvotes in the other place. But to be honest, I don’t even know how many I get here, because thankfully, it’s only tallied per post rather than per person/account
Similar experience to yours for me.
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
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.
Yep everyone here is much kinder, smarter and better looking

One upvote means at least one person appreciates you. More than that, there are no karmas or anything. You can use the votes to see the most appreciated comments, though.
I do but I’m not actively trying to piss anyone off here, so I guess that it’s deserved?
Not even a little bit. I felt like Usher in the early 2000s, just drowning in … You get the idea.
Not really, but less folk to upvote so understandable.
