Over the last week or so I have noticed that I have a lot more fun engaging in discussions on here as opposed to reddit.

On reddit i always felt like i was shouting into the void and there was nobody listening, which resulted in me becoming a lurker for the last 12 years.

Maybe it’s the small size of this community, the lack of karma farmers, that I’ve finally lost my mind or a little bit of all of the above, but this place just feels like something special. I’m really looking forward to building the fediverse with all of you!

    I’m certainly not trying to karma farm. I haven’t seen any total “karma” score on kbin, and don’t think that there should be.

    There’s a ‘reputation’ score, but it’s fortunately pretty pointless (it’s boosts minus downvotes/reduces, upvotes don’t count).

      Apparently, this is not the intended function and its’s built like this for interoperability with the rest of the fediverse/Mastodon…
