  • The first thing you’ll learn when you start using Reddit is that karma matters.

    To an extent, but not really that great of one. Once you’re past like… a hundred, you’re fine basically everywhere of note.

    Lots of communities have a minimum.

    Basically every community of note that I modded did. Kept out a lot of shitters. Sure some regular folks might’ve gotten hit in the crossfire but omelettes, eggs, and nothing better from the admin side to stop the previously mentioned shitters.

    There are communities dedicated to building karma.

    We’d ban people who used those ngl, cuz guess who else used those subs?

    There are secret clubs for high karma earners.

    They aren’t as interesting as you might think. Source: Was in several. Lot of similar names shooting the shit. Secret mod subs were like that too tbh.


  • Karma matters early on posting on reddit cuz many subreddits blocked negative karma posters via automod. Later it became more granular with subreddit specific karma. After several years there I had 6 digit karma spread across all my regular haunts which granted me a degree of freedom to get downvoted wherever cuz I had stockpiles to dip into.

    On lemmy that doesn’t apply.
