Reddit

I feel manipulated by the karma. It has no value and yet I care when i get downvoted. It's a huge warning sign to get off reddit and into a healthier community.

I had like 20000 karma on some previous reddit account i deleted a few years back. Current one has 3000 karma or so. Because I post a lot, and I wrote things people agree with usually. But it's a echo chamber, and once I start to limit myself to writing things that are "safe" from a karma point of view, I'm literally just supporting the entire karma system.

It's something very Chinese about these points. They have this social system where citizens have a score, and if they get too low, they can't get loans and whatnot. Pretty much what the show black mirror was showing, and China now has it.

I have ~5100 karma, I've never really cared about the total karma amount but it is fun to see a comment or post be upvoted. They feel like social points and that makes me think of "that" episode of Black Mirror, and as @mrmanager@lemmy.today said, China has implemented that. It's crazy.

But as I always say, in the end, the people have the power. Always.

About 90k. It’s fine. I care less about the karma then I do about loosing the community’s, but they were going downhill for a long time anyway.

200k+ comment karma, from 75,000 comments. I've run PowerDeleteSuite, but it hasn't quite got everything. I think I need to use the GDPR request csv files to get the comments that don't display in the profile, but I'm looking for something that will automate this.

27k here, not terribly worried about it honestly.

107k. But what really matters to me are the thanks I got from people I helped out with book recommendations.

Like a few thousand across five accounts? I had closer to 10k on an old account that I deleted entirely a few years ago, after redacting all my comments. Always been more of a lurker than an active user.

I am still a bit dumbfounded as to why people care about an arbitrary number.

I looked it up now and apparently it is over 400000. But it still doesn't do anything right?

170k, I don't mind at all though. I only got it because I thought it was funny to have a big number.

Not my account, but my bot, thebenshapirobot, just reached 600,000 karma in about a year and a half. I was always hoping it'd get to a million karma while trolling Ben Shapiro. The bot is currently off as part of the blackout, and frankly I have no idea if the API changes will affect it because I haven't bothered to read them.

I'm not sure about 30k for a 3 year old account. Had multiple over 10 years. I just used to delete them when it got attention from the Admins.

Turns out saying fuck /u/gallowboob for his bullshit admin abuse makes them really mad at you. DMs and site wide bans from big subs is easily done.

Hope Reddit dies and they have no power.

360k and ten years.

Such a waste of time. This was what I needed to make healthier choices. Less time spent scrolling, less time commenting. Lemmy is my methodone right now.

Around 700 karma. Let it burn, we should abolish karma forever since it only promotes echo chambers and stiffles actual discussion.

I discovered reddit not so long ago, since I am not a social kind of person I mainly lurked there for memes, info and news about my hobbies and humor in general. Never had the crave for karma points (or Internet points in general) but I can understand it. Posted a comment about world of warcraft that reached almost 5000 karma (i really don't know why, but as I said I was not into the reddit mechanics, so maybe I am the one that cannot get the point). I think it's quite a lot for only one comment!

Im one point short of 125k karma, I'm frankly stunned that my 9 years of shitposts and random sarcasm had been appreciated that much

I have 200K. Most of it I got it from reposting lol.

70k combined

I've never really been much of a poster, so I've only managed to earn roughly 6.5k karma (shared across a few accounts) in my almost a decade in Reddit.

While it feels nice to have that feeling of validation upon seeing my response being invited, I didn't really feel going out of my way to be more active for some reason.

I think my longest and last account was around 26k. End of an era
