Yep, wefwef karma seems to be client side. I have it too on my wefwef.
Edit: Am wrong, see response from developer below.
Wefwef is based off of Apollo. Apollo had a karma counter, and so does wefwef.
Many long posts on Reddit are written by AI because thats what it has devolved into: AI written crap pushed out by karma farms. The guy above you is asking if you are one of those accounts.
I don’t think this was written by AI, doesn’t have the same ring to it. Nice eulogy, OP.
Same here. I was browsing when Apollo crashed (spez pulled the plug).
Most of the people fleeing Reddit are the same people who shit on Musk in r/facepalm.
Yeah, definitely not going to take off with the leaving Reddit crowd. Might attract current Twitter users through shudders
I don't think Lemmy could be wrecked as easily as Reddit, (fuck u/spez) as Reddit is under the control of a singular entity that exists to make money, while the fediverse is made up of many different instances hosted by many different people, most, if not all who host their instances using their own money without a desire to financially profit from Lemmy. Plus, even if one instance goes to crap, users can simply migrate to another instance.
This is something I had neglected to think of. A reward/points system leads to bots farming for points, then selling the account. On the other hand, karma can be a good indicator to community moderators of weather that user isn’t just a spam account.
Edit: To clarify comment karma is a good metric for mods, not post karma. Its much harder to gain karma via comments because you can’t just repost r/oddlysatisfying shit, but that could change with GPT and open source LLMs.
