    I hope nvidia and now this is just the beginning of a major nosedive for big tech, both in and out of the stock market.

    I kinda wish I still had my karma number (or an analogue) on Lemmy. I was addicted to it, so it wouldn’t be good for me. And, farming it (in either direction) was the “motivation” for lots of bad behavior, so it wouldn’t be good for Lemmy. But, I still miss it.

        Mostly, it had no point, but to me it was durable evidence that people were interacting with my posts, even if they didn’t feel the need to reply. But, IIRC, subreddits could limit posting/replying/voting based on karma levels, and I know Reddit did take into account your total karma when doing rate limiting.

        Its social capital capital. On places like stack exchange, a person with high “karma” is an indicator that lots of people have found their answers helpful. Similar with reddit, but for posting good content.

      There’s probably a way to see your account wide upvotes ig but completely off topic don’t ya think?

        I’ve looked and can’t find it.

        No, I don’t think “karma” is off-topic for a thread with the subject line “Mad Karma with Jim Cramer”, and in particular noting the lack of karma on the network to which the thread was posted.

          I haven’t logged into a reddit account in years, the lack of karma is not something present in my mind on lemmy, so a post referencing Nvidia and Outlook could suggest that it’s karma in the fate sense that big tech is having issues after going full AI.

          There’s probably a tool somewhere on github to get it yourself, which will inevitably have no documentation 🫡 Paraphrasing issue 2370 on the lemmynet/lemmy github it’s intentionally not implemented on the server side to avoid people farming the score leading to low quality content.

          Huh, guess it didn’t make sense as a reference to reddit foe me in this usage, like i read karma as in the fate sense
