• The only thing I used reddit for was to lurk, see photos, upvote and read some comments or posts. I was barely active during this couple of years with a new account, after deleting an old one. Sometimes I saw it, and still see it, difficult for me to be active because of karma, some kind of polarization or toxicity, even on safe subreddits.

    The good thing is that here, karma is non existent. Yes, you can upvote or downvote posts and comments, but those votes don’t go to you as karma, so you’re not affected. And that really helps neurodivergent people, as it’s my case too (rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it’s called, one comorbidity of ADHD).

    So, yes, fuck Reddit, and I’ll stay here as long as it lasts.

      Yeah same, all my subs except my local ones were going down hill the past few years. I’m hopeful the post quality here remains high and we don’t get the same few tired predictable comments under post.
