1k upvotes here is like the equivalent of 50k on Reddit (probably I’m operating on dated info, who knows how much they screwed with the upvoting system by now lmao)
I wouldn’t even really call this a private forum, though. Anybody can join for free with minimal effort.
Now, SomethingAwful is a private forum, I paid them ten bucks to join. And to be honest I like their style. It’s a cheap one time payment for permanent membership but if you’re being an asshole and get yourself perma banned, you’re going to pay another tenner to rejoin. It’s a great anti-troll and anti-botting feature.
I don’t think that strategy would work well for the Fediverse and I don’t recommend it as such. But that’s what I’d consider a “private forum”.
A thousand upvotes? Is this reddit?
What’s the exchange rate of Reddit karma to Lemmy nothings?
1,763.64:1
From 97 million active users from reddit vs 55k users from Lemmy.
stonks
Well, at least you won’t find bots farming karma
Why not? Lemmy doesn’t seem bot proof. Quite the opposite really.
The bots here are too busy spreading propaganda and shilling for mega-corps.
Becasue you don’t have much value to farm accounts on Lemmy since you don’t have karma
yet
Yup, it’s like the Apple ads of the early 2000s claiming the don’t get viruses
I didn’t even know the counter could go to 4 digits.
It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s the equivalent of going viral around here lol
How does it feel, going viral?!

Nah I meant in Reddit when you reach special karma number for a post you had special sub opened based on your karma.
We are working on it
Explains why the servers are so slow lately
