On Reddit, my karma was always weighted more on the question side than on the comment side. I felt bad for not being a valuable contributor to people’s lives rather than being selfish and always asking things for myself. Lemmy has gotten rid of that point system so now I feel like I can feel free to ask as many questions as I need without having to balance my karma. Also, I have noticed that I participate so much more on this platform than I ever did on Reddit.

    idk it was more karma than I ever had. always toiling away in the comments of less popular subreddits.

    Currently I have 1737 rep points. It says I joined a month ago and you joined 3 weeks ago so I think you are beating me by a bit. I guess your strategy is working! :D

      Huh … found myself on kbin and found out I also have reputation points.

      I hate it! But, this is kinda the messiness of the fediverse at play. There are a few design/platform things which can only be guaranteed within the bounds of your instance, where beyond that it is kinda the wild west of the internet unless instance defederation is done.
