No "total karma" for accounts.

[-] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Which by extension removes the stupid one liner contest that every reddit post devolves into.

And karma farming shitposts

[-] Jomn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This. It makes it much more unlikely to see tons of reposts, and as such it will be easier to see new interesting stuff.

[-] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 2 points 1 year ago

More engagement. I think the vast majority of Reddit was lurkers. This feels more like a community.

Seeing downvotes as soon as there's at least one is so cool to me. Very small detail, but it makes a pretty big impact.

Edit: I appreciate the downvote to display this awesome feature 👍

[-] other_world@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Reddit used to have that with a browser add on called Reddit Enhancement Suite. They cut off access to the downvote numbers a while ago. I've missed it ever since.

Downvotes were shown by default without RES. They removed it but RES dev made it possible somehow.

[-] SurpriseWaterfall@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Even with RES, I remember seeing a few years ago that Reddit does some form of obfuscation with karma. So no one really knows the true number of downvotes and upvotes.

[-] RoosterBoy@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

YES! Especially since just about every social media has removed or never included dislikes at this point.

[-] tebro@lemmy.tebro.fi 1 points 1 year ago

I was concerned of the amount of users not being enough to generate content, but so far I have been proven wrong. And the quality of the content is much better. At least for now.

[-] derek@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

No ads and the fact, that it is open source and community driven.

[-] lodion@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Unicode characters in display names.

Relatively tech literate user base

Not for long if the migration continues
