    All governments do horrific things because all a government is is the most powerful organized violent group in an area. That's all government ever has been.

  • Karma is an inherently destructive thing for many reasons. For people, it is a representation of other people's approval of you, so they'll do anything to boost that number as highly as possible, even going so far as to make fake karma farming accounts, create botnets to upvote themselves and downvote opponents in arguments, and post garbage content instead of engaging in meaningful conversation with other people. For corporations, it's a marketing tool they can exploit to manipulate public opinion, by creating or buying high-karma accounts to convince people to buy shit, or to mass downvote people who point out flaws in their arguments or products, or figure out what they're planning and try to call them on it. They can use karma to discredit opponents, astroturf, and even sway elections indirectly. It's one of the reasons why civil and political discourse have completely collapsed in the USA.

    That list is not exhaustive

  • Which I don't understand. It literally would be cheaper for them to use stevia or monk fruit and call it a day than to quibble over something so trivial.

  • You literally can just download the Lemmy program and install it on any computer you want to use as a server. I used to run Mastodon servers a few years ago, and it's not without its hurdles, but with some Linux knowledge and a little bit of server admin knowhow, you absolutely could.

    You'd need a computer you're gonna use as a server, put Linux on it, then install NginX or Apache on it, then Lemmy, then set everything up and get a domain name to attach to the computer's IP. Question mark, profit. It might be a bit of an oversimplification, but with some research and work, it can be done.

    1. Discourage people from using karma. You actually can turn off scores in your settings.

    2. If any instance decides to put advertising on itself, leave immediately and get everyone else to do the same.

  • I'm more of a monk fruit person myself too honestly.

  • Can we have a talk about that? Please for the love of all that is holy, don't actually display karma scores in wefwef. Please. :(

    Jump

  • That's probably a good reason not to use Wefwef 🤦

    Here, your comments can be upvoted and downvoted, but it's purposefully not totaled and kept separate from your profile. I don't know why the devs of that app decided to total them all together -- that total is your karma and people did tie their self-worth and their social standing to their karma. It's what made Reddit so toxic

    We all better go say something to the Wefwef devs and make them take that shit off

  • Oh dear

    Jump

  • If any devs ever implement karma into Lemmy, I will shut down my subs and leave.

    I mean that with 100% seriousness. Karma is one of the most evil concepts ever conceived in the history of the internet. It brings out the darkness in a motherfucker.
