I’ve been posting a lot lately But I seem like I’m controversial no matter what I post. I came from Reddit with over 2 million karma during the API controversy. Should I keep posting or give up on Lemmy?
I’ve had you tagged for some time for past discussions I found dubious and recognize by sight your name now but don’t stop posting what you believe; I still want to hear what you say unlike others who just seem like trolls or bots. I often agree even. I don’t want an echo chamber; I want ideas challenged in both directions.
I came from Reddit with over 2 million karma
No one cares.
…we are a community who cares. who the fuck are you to randomly hate someone…
Your response is way more hateful than simply saying that people don’t care about something as silly as reddit karma.
Explain
I am still waiting for an explantation
The other guy just said ‘no one cares’. It’s not aggressive in any way, it’s informative. I also don’t care at all about karma. I didn’t care when I was on reddit and I care even less now. If you agree with this sentiment you can upvote it, if you don’t agree you can downvote. 0 emotions are involved. Then you attacked this guy accusing him hate. No one was hostile until you showed up.
this is not an explanation
It actually is a perfect explanation. If you don’t get it it’s on you.
when you join a communtiy who cares, then this is unacceptable. That you cannot see that speaks volumes.
No one said anywhere it’s a “community who cares”. ‘Ask Lemmy’ simply says “A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions”. lemmy.world is simply “A generic Lemmy server for everyone to use.”. I think you just misunderstood something.
Telling someone that no one cares how much karma they have on reddit is not an expression of hatred.
You are not responding here, who are you responding to?
To you.
You did ,by making a comment
I truly hate this gotcha reply. We get it, you think that was super witty.
Seek help for your hate
Look everybody, this guy cares SO much. They responded and therefore I win!! Muahaha
Dilligas
Ouch sick burn
Perhaps.
I don’t care that has an embarrassment of wealth in accumulated karma.
I do kinda care that there are people who think it’s actually relevant in some way.
Your post history seems positive though, maybe I’m sorting wrong
I don’t see most of your posts in the wild but the one I did was good. Glancing at your profile, you post quality which is just going to get a different kind if engagement than what we’re used to on reddit
Stand tall, king. Numbers just scale a little different here and things move slow. You’ll notice your posts will continue to get engagement for a long to after a reddit post would normally die down too.
Yes
isnt controversy good as long as conversation is civil?
For what it’s worth, I appreciate your contributions. 👍
Thank you.
Thanks for your contributions!
If you get dozens of upvotes, you are not controversial. If you get half a dozen negative comments, just ignore them. Don’t let the comments get yah!
Don’t feel like you need to be useful, but thanks for contributing.
I haven’t heard of any controversy, but I think you do important work. May not be glamorous work, but having a consistent flow of news on Lemmy helps me keep up to date on the goings-on of the world. I assume most people think similarly
- Controversy is always going to happen with anything politics, which is clearly something very important to you
- Your worth is not a measure of the controversy your posts generate or karma
- Maybe instead of giving up completely, consider also posting about some things that bring you peace and joy. I have no doubt that there is much more to you than very understandable anger about the world we live in.
In my case, I can’t survive on a diet of outrage alone, especially when I’m often picking up my phone to get away from some kind of life stress, so I’m always keen for more posts in art, photography or pet communities. It helps to break up the wall of misery that is the news and reminds me there are still things worth fighting for. Sometimes I need to see a photo of a beach sunset someone saw and thought was pretty, or read a post about how they discovered a new hobby even if it’s never try it. Show me the cute dog you saw on a walk, or the weird random trash you found on the street, I’m here for it.
Consider it a form of community building. rest, and morale boosting for the war against humanity and the environment that we’ve been caught in, if you will.
I don’t see controversy in your first page of your profile, but discussion about the articles. IMO, that’s what you hope for.
Nothing wrong with controversy. Know who you are and be open to learning.
The question isn’t if you’re useful to Lemmy or not. We don’t deserve to exert any weight on your heart with opinions and upvotes.
Are you doing something you think is worth your time, with or without external validation? Is this something you would do if you thought it was basically the internet version of putting messages in a bottle?
When you are old and on your death bed, what will the value of your reddit karma be? What is the value of it now?
Do things that matter to you. Do things that help you grow and be a better person.
