Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

its completely public via non-lemmy systems https://moist.catsweat.com/u/@LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net
Interesting. Your instance is from another platform, right? Is it Piefed or mbin?
Is this just basically karma or what does it mean?
yep, im coming from an mbin instance. its basically karma.. upvotes - downvotes.
it really helps identifying spammers/trolls quickly.
Thanks. I love that we’ve got several active alternatives we can communicate with on the threadiverse now. I like Lemmy but I hope they continue to proliferate.
Does it persist through comment/post removal/deletion?
i believe mbin has cascading deletes, which should alter the aggregation if things get deleted.
Isn't it worthless though? I mean I could award myself karma on my servers communities or just hack it up.
no. Its great for catching trolls.
it literally hurts no one for existing
