MODERATORS
I find myself commenting far more often than I did on Reddit. I remember once that I lamented that Lemmy doesn't have a "super upvote" in the way that Reddit gold used to be (which is a silly thought, given that I have never, and would never pay money to gild a comment). However, I realised that on this more discussion based platform, a short but meaningful comment can readily function as a super upvote. I think the lack of karma accrual for comments/posts also promotes this.
Same, I'm engaging more often here than I did on Reddit because it feels less like shouting into the void. I just wish there were more active communities for philosophical/political/religious debate on lemmy.
Also I didn't even realize there wasn't a karma system here, but that seems like a good call. I never paid attention to it on Reddit either (I couldn't even tell you off the top of my head how much I have.)
