I know that karma is a contentious issue on Lemmy, but I like having the feature where it is displayed on user profiles. For trolls especially, it helps to know if they should be ignored or not, like if they have -3000 karma for example. I have always noticed karma appearing in boost when viewing a user's profile, but today after logging out and back in, I noticed I no longer have that feature. Karma is no longer shown on profiles for me.

It doesn't seem like anyone else is having the issue and the recent changelog entries don't mention it. Did I inadvertently change a setting and now I just can't find that setting to change it back?

I'm glad the karma stuff is gone, personally

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, it probably is best for most scenarios. I really only care in the scenario I outlined. If someone has thousands of comments and -3000 karma I know they probably shouldn't be taken seriously. But oh well.

I wish the API would at least return an upvote/downvote ratio for the user, like it does for posts. It'd make it easy to spot trolls without creating the incentive for karma whoring.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

That's a good idea.

I had about that much before they removed it. Well into the negatives. But I also had a lot of up votes. However, I was into the negatives because of a certain group of people who dog pile you for wrong think. I'd hate for somebody to ignore me because I had negative "karma" just because certain groups of people made it their mission in life to silence me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah no... After enough scrolling through your history I see you being a bit of a nutter. That's not people trying to "silence you" it's you being crazy and people giving you werid looks. You are at best a troll at worst huffing trumps farts to a worrying extent.

Can't say anything about the comments removed by moderators but seeing what isn't removed makes me suspect they were probably quite vile to get removed while those others stayed.

๐Ÿ˜‚ this is exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for proving my point

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

How is your point proven? Public record you created led to an opinion and somehow that's sIlEnCinG you?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What does public opinion matter on a site where the majority of the user base is just far left losers who hate seeing people disagree with them?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes the evil far left known for wanting good things and people to be happy how horid. So wonderful on the right with all those loving religious people. You know the saying, there's no hate like Christian love.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're so caring you randomly decide to take a crack at religion out of nowhere. How enlightened

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Has there been an hour in any of our lives unimpacted by religion? From the guilt to the laws made, to the constant spread of hatred, it is barely even possible for religion to come up "completely out of nowhere". When speaking about political conservatism the two are basically a circle as a venn diagram. But yeah dude great point. This person is insanely hateful because, checks notes, they pointed out a basic truth in the world.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The hour before our brought it up, and the hour after I stopped thinking about it were pretty unimpacted

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You are a deeply unobservant person

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sorry that I'm not schizophrenic like you ๐Ÿคท

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Noted: if I notice the impacts of thousands of years of culture on daily life, I have a mental disorder where I hallucinate. And therefore, I should feel shame.

Because the mentally healthy way to see this topic is that hatred in the name of God is normal and we shouldn't question it or talk about it. Even if it's fueling a worldwide shift toward fascism.

Sociopathy comes to mind, if we're playing armchair psychologist.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is this fascism in the room with us right now

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, you are indeed in this thread.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lol you're fucking delusional

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone who supports a sore losing twice-impeached broke ass impotent old bitch is a little projecty

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lmao funny how you talk about projection when you've done nothing but levy your insane delusions against me. Typical fucking loser on lemmy.world. You guys are just a bunch of worthless crybabies who should go back to reddit

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Leave the platform, the people here despise you and your poisonous ideology. Most people in the world do too for that matter

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't give a fuck what you think, or how you're deluded enough to think the world backs you

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Votes polls and generally just having awareness helps. I know, the entire world is irrelevant to your poison brain. I wouldn't give a fuck what fascists think either, it's just that whole "ruining every goddamn thing" part that gets me

Ps. Trump lost lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lol at your post history. Why are you here? Not really a friendly place to fascists

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As if I care that you morons cry fascism whenever someone disagrees

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

"whenever someone disagrees" with democracy
