holy fuck what happened to your reputation points

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

and this is the reason I like having reputation points advertised. So you can spot an obvious troll and/or someone who isn't capable of having a meaningful discussion. It really helps to decide how much effort you put in when conversing with a poster.

I've noticed on Lemmy they don't have reputation points visible on profiles because they see them as a vanity/populatiry metric. Reputation can be used for far more than just "fake internet points" they can be a great indicator of trolls.
