    It’s about tying self esteem to upvotes, why in the world would it be pointless here?

      It’s pointless because there is no karma system on lemmy and therefore no karma requirement to post on certain communities. Aqcuiring upvotes on multiple posts does nothing in the long term. My thinking was that a system like this might end up leading people to place quality over quantity when making posts.

        It’s super easy to say “Trumps sucks!” on the news subreddit, get thousands of upvotes. Some people would post on gardening with a picture of a black gardener and get 10k upvotes, there’s a whole list of ways to start a new account on top in no times. It’s how bots work
