First person to type paragraphs on how the only real left-wingers are people just as left-wing as they are gets an e-cookie!

    On a forum that values user’s contributions based on number of votes and allows moderators to unilaterally censor opinions they disagree with?

    I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

      Only if you participate in an instance that tracks such things.

      I know startrek.website tracks individual comments and posts, but not overall. So I would have to go back and check each individual comment and add up the total if I cared to find out how many points I have accumulated.

      I know some don’t track any at all.

      I know lemmy.world tracks at least comment votes.

      I understand that a basic point system allows people to sort comments a little easier, but it really can reinforce echo chambers.

      I am guilty of often sorting posts with dozens of comments by top vote ranking, but I try to just do oldest to newest comments.
