I can understand the desire to get as many downvotes as possible on reddit. I don’t sympathize, but I can at least see where people are coming from. Because Reddit gives you that total and shows it to you.

And I’m sure it’s possible to use an API to really that number up on Lemmy, but “total karma” doesn’t seem to be something Lemmy cares about by default, so where is the motivation coming from?

Is it just the same reason people have always been trolls? Because I’ve never quite understood that, either

    As someone who believes in the concept of benefit of the doubt, this seems against anything I would call someone out for then.

      I’m with you. I wouldn’t think it was happening until it already happened.
