The thing I like most about the fediverse, unlike reddit, is that people are genuinely posting things they care about or like, rather than posting to be a karma whore. I can't tell you how many times I've posted in reddit and it instantly gets stolen and used in another sub simply to get easy karma. It's refreshing to not have that here. That's all. Thanks!

Karma is still able to be calculated manually on Lemmy by totaling all posts - I feel it is inevitable that a popular app adds this feature and we're back to gamification.

Removal of global karma is my favorite thing about Lemmy as well. People on Reddit were so performative, posting things they didn't care about or stifling unpopular opinions in order to get magic points.
