Huh, maybe I need to be more proactive about deleting and recreating accounts here. On Reddit, I would do it about every year or two, and that seemed to work pretty well.
I value my privacy online, which is why I'll never again have a Facebook account (deleted mine years ago), and why I never used a valid email on Reddit. I guess this means I'll probably need to recreate my account every few months instead of years.
What I like about lemmy is quite different, I like that there's no incentive to get popular here. Karma isn't a thing, there are no awards, and the audience isn't big enough to attract as many narcissists.
Anyway, I hope to earn your votes with whatever my account is in the future.
Karma absolutely is a thing, your app or instance just might not show that to you
Sure, and since most apps and instances don't show it, it likely has less of an impact on people. I've never particularly cared, but it seems enough people do to make the experience worse.
