  • I honestly think it’s kinda lame since you can’t see who is just being a troll.

    That’s exactly why it isn’t a thing on Lemmy. Not because knowing who is a troll of a bad thing but because it is a terrible measure of that. Karma systems, like Reddit’s are far too easy to game in order to lend a false sense of legitimacy to statements associated with an account (or try to make a legitimate account appear illegitimate) in order to manipulate people. Propagandists and other bad actors love karma systems because of this.

    More so, they non-voted for it. They heard the quote:

    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

    And thought that it didn’t apply to them, or alternatively, they wanted to offer up LGBTQ+, Palestine, Ukraine, and PoC up as blood sacrifices in hopes of achieving the workers revolution that no evidence suggests would happen.












  • I haven’t used Windows personally in about 15 years and professionally in about 10. I’m pretty useless on anything newer than XP. I even got my wife to switch over to a Mac Mini because at least that has a Unix-like OS and she can still do her audio work on it (in fact, better than a Windows system because their patch QA is light-years ahead of the MS “fuck it, it’ll break some systems but we’ll get that next patch Tuesday” approach).

    That’s not to say that I like Apple. I just dislike their OS less than Windows.
