Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

EDIT: I know there are upvotes and downvotes, but the problem with Reddit is you can't post in most communities if your karma or reputation is bad. This is a big problem because herd mentality prevails there and if ypu have unpopular opinions you're basically censored.

Lemmy isn't designed to milk ypur dopamine with notifications every 10 upvotes, so you focus more on posting valuable cont instead of farming for approval and upvotes.

Lemmy still has comment karma. Mine's at 1500.

No, there's karma. I've had more than a couple guys point out mine is negative.

I wonder what you thought was evil. Probably something banal, but something Lemmy hates.

I vaguely recall it being something about refugees or Palestine

That makes sense. I still hold the opinion that illegal immigrants should be deported, and Hamas is awful.

Most people would agree with me, but most on Lemmy would not

Quality content? You mean the exact same stuff that’s on Reddit, often copied directly from Reddit?

800,000 “Trump bad! Look at this latest bad thing Elong did!” posts a day is not quality content
