i think one of them is: karma

A advanced enough Automod.
One button to AI generate your posts.
Dick pic sharing button, believe it or not was shot down.
Do I need one uploaded or does it just share a random dick pic? If it’s the latter I see why it was shot down, people would just be spamming that thing
That’s a shame, Lemmy needs more dick pics.
Embedded MIDIs
I was there, Gandalf. My speakers still forgotten near full volume from my earlier Napster binge.
My GeoCities site had some dope midis

Mbin has karma, so while not Lemmy specifically, it does exist on the fediverse. So karma farmers are possible here.
paid posts (lol)
Ads
Unpopular take: dumb, non-targetted, ads could create revenue for server providers which may increase service quality and availability
I’d rather walk away from Lemmy.
Remember: eventually YOU pay for the ads. And ads are ALWAYS targeted , there is no such thing as non-targeted ads.
By targetting, I’m talking about serving different ads to different users. Of course when an ad is created it targets a specific audience but thats not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about collecting user data for the purpose of targeting them with specific ads.
Ie- User is a young male, so show sports betting ads vs this is an ad for a vpn, serve it to everyone
look at 4chan’s ads for an example of non targeted ads
If ads started to come on Lemmy, I would just stop using Lemmy itself and do everything through RSS.
If RSS would not work anymore, I would probably just leave.
It could also alienate your audience when you inevitable shift towards the more profitable side, which is beeing business friendly and not human friendly.
Agree and only if theres a shift. Distrowatch has had ads for decades for example
A button which makes a random person on the planet paralyzed.
A one-time button for only one person at a time. If you press it, someone you don’t know will die, but you will receive ten million dollars.
Then the button moves on to the next person. Someone you don’t know.
[Ominous music]
That would fast lead to humanity extinction. There are also people risking a 50/50 chance
I’m not an authority on the story, but I interpreted it to mean that those who reject the button/refuse to press it are not eligible to be killed by it. The first person to use the button might kill a random person (although I like to think that it just doesn’t take a life then), but after that, it just kills the previous button presser.
Ahhh, got it. Well then someone would press the button and use as much of his money as needed to find the next person that is supposed to press it. And right in the moment kills this person and stops the game forever.
Still, would be a really terrible feature
Every post has an AI summary of the comments pinned at the top. You can’t disable it. It hallucinates.

Why did you repeat that line?

that one avatar with no feet
The app kicks you in the balls every time you scroll past a post without reading it.
Owww!
A “helpful assistant” button for writing comments.
Why do you think so? I don’t believe it has such an impact. Karma is nice for some people because of whatever reasons they have and everyone else just don’t care about it.
Only impact I can see is communities requiring Karma to post. But that shouldn’t be too much of an issue for most users.
Karma systems invalidate someone’s way of thinking. You may not realize how much people will say or do anything to feel better about themselves seeing a stupid number go up. And the more meaningless points that a user has, they get a god complex by thinking they can say or do no wrong.
A lot of the people I’ve confronted on this platform and in the past, are assholes with lots of points.
I don’t see the point in karma systems at all. It isn’t about making posts the most seen. It’s about people chasing validity.
As long as the karma isn’t linked to any decision making power, how would it influence me if someone feels like a god and becomes an asshole? Assholes are everywhere with and without karma. And being an asshole with lots of karma fast leads to losing all of it again through downvotes.
I couldn’t care less about karma, but if it makes someone happy or more attached to use PieFed/Lemmy, go for it.
Cool, cool.
Enough people do care and attribute value that it leads to negative outcomes. On reddit having higher karma numbers was treated as a user being ‘worth more’ for decisions. After a decade or so not having karma on a new account led to negative experience for new users by being gated out of popular communities until they farmed some karma.
Yeah, but you didn’t answered my question. How would it affect me without being linked to such restrictions?
However, I can see a point communities trying to set a low limit to decrease spamming a little bit. And I also can see communities that would like to have people involved in comments first before they are allowed to post. Sure, most communities don’t need such a rule, but (community-based) karma could be a way to make something like that easily achievable.
The good part compared to Reddit is: in Fediverse its way easier to copy a popular community. CommunityXY@piefed.world requires Karma now to post and you don’t like this rule? Start communityXY@piefed.zip without that rule and let the people decide what they prefer.
Why add something that provides no benefit but requires workarounds if people misuse it?
- as I mentioned, I can see benefits for some people and communities
- I’m not voting for it, but I also disagree with it being something that „ruins Lemmy“
well because of farmming
And who cares? You can’t buy anything with it, so let them farm it. If they are successful it means they post things people upvote/like. Could be worse for the community
They can already do that by populating an account with regular comments over time.
A 1:1 redesign that copies New Reddit.
I don’t see how one more shitty frontend for lemmy would ruin anything. Just add it to the pile.
If it became mandatory, I feel like it kinda would actually.
But you could only do that on the instance level, so people could just switch or setup their own instance that uses a different frontend. There is no way to force a specific UI on all of lemmy.
