I agree with a lot of what you’ve said, and am starting to think I may just be being cantankerous about something for no good reason.
I’ve no issue with shitposts nor trying to get All The Upvotes (nor, I guess, All The Downvotes) here. I think it’s just that lazy and transparent “This is a real question?” type of post - repeated over and 'cking over - that makes my teeth itch for some reason. 😅
The web version screenshot you provided was interesting when compared to the Voyager mobile app view of a profile:
It’s possible I was being lazy or stupid (they’re not mutually exclusive) in misreading the Comment Count metric as something else, like “karma”, rating, or whatever. It’s definitely not that. Either way, you and others are right in saying there is no karma here (for that I apologise to all). I still have doubts whether the people doing the above kind of posts understand the - literal - pointlessness of doing it for any kind of account cred.
I dunno. Anyway, I’ve had a day to reflect on it, and I’m wrong. So it goes… 🙂
Likewise. I much prefer the sitting around the table and discussing differences approach to the alternatives.
Life’s too short. 😊
