Quora is an impeccable font of online knowledge and we should be grateful for bwahaha no I can’t even…
Basically the amount of karma farming that already happens on Reddit is going to quadruple. And yeah it’s going to be a) on the more ‘serious’ questions like Quora and b) on the more AITA or Confessions posts ‘oh you guys have helped me so much, of you can upvote me and give me some awards it’ll really help get my life on track’
Part of me couldn’t believe they’d actually introduce this but in light of everything this year, whatever. Because what else could benefit Reddit …oh yeah - grifters!
If they want to add fuel to the fire that’s burning down the house fine. I’m over at Kbin. I’m staying.
My only regret is there’s some really great health support communities there and I hope they can be allowed to live in peace because I don’t think they’ll feasibly migrate.
I’m only on reddit for a few select, very specific communities. If I ever find a replacement it’s over. Help with Immigration laws, teaching practices, language learning ect. I’m thinking maybe I’d like to start the teachers group over here.
Only reason I still visited Reddit was to look at /r/CrossStitch. With the lemmit.online bot (which I have mixed feelings about) I get my feed on Lemmy without going on there. Not ideal as I can’t comment but even if I go there to do it, I have my adblocker up.

That’s how this happens. The community is the value, not the platform. Once a critical mass crosses over, the same community can continue.
I definitely don’t have time to moderate, I barely have time to scan headlines.
