At least that’s my calculation right now

    Eh I’ve always cared and still do to an extent? Like I don’t give a flying fuck about overall Karma. But if I make a joke of course I want to see it get a lot of reactions you know?

      I get what you mean, but over time I found the desire for validation meant I was more likely to think about the reactions before I commented, and it was shaping what I said and posted.

      At the moment I’m modding a super tiny community and I’m posting news content that I know will never be that popular with the majority of federati.

      But it’s more fulfilling than guessing what people will like and posting or commenting that.

        The interactions around politics still haven’t changed. There are more extreme views here though. It’s interesting to hop from a pro-Russian left conversation about the war to ones where they don’t believe in any regulation at all. More random stuff is rising to the top.

          I’ve managed to steer clear of a lot of it. As a non American, it feels much easier here to not have to wade through a whole lot of comments of people arguing about American politics.

          Reddit sort of pathologically turns unrelated discussions into that, probably because of all the shills and bad actors they have creeping about the place.

      The thing is that a upvote is just not very interesting as a reaction, but a comment is worth so much more!

      Don’t we all. Nothing like a little humor to lighten the mood but I honestly don’t miss scrolling past hundreds of overused puns to find some useful info on Reddit.
