Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I know Lemmy doesn't support karma scores for a reason, but in case it helps you decide which people you want to continue to hear from, the commenter you're replying to would have almost -11,000 (negative eleven thousand) karma, were Lemmy to support such a thing.
You gotta actively try to reach that kinda score, it's almost impressive. You have to go out of your way to be a jackass.
I think you misspelled Conservative.
Ooh do me next!
Is there an extension that shows account "karma" somewhere? I dont care very much but I would be interested to know how I'm getting along here since there's no notifications for reaching upvote Milestones.
Now that I think about it; I don't get notifications from lemmy at all. Maybe I should look at my settings..
You're probably somewhere in the high 600s, but I am estimating. I think the info exists in the backend, but Lemmy deliberately doesn't make it available anywhere because of the things it encourages--stealing and reposting content for karma farming, judging which people are worth talking to by how well they conform to the dominant opinions, etc. Admittedly, that second one is exactly what I used it for earlier, but -11,000 is a lot so I'm not too worried about it.
The scores used to be accessible via the API, so some Lemmy apps used to show them, but ultimately the feature was removed on the Lemmy end, i.e. Lemmy servers no longer provide that data to apps. I'm not aware of any way to see karma totals within the Lemmy interface today.
That said, the threadiverse is made up of more than just Lemmy: you can interact with Lemmy users and vice versa from other federated sites running Mbin, PieFed and eventually Sublinks when that software is ready. I'm not sure about the other two, but Mbin sites support a Reputation count which is the karma equivalent, so it is possible to see a user's Reputation from an Mbin server. Here's a link to your profile as viewed from kbin.earth, a popular Mbin server.
Boring technical "Well actually" stuff: The nature of federation means that the scores visible from remote servers are incomplete: what you're really seeing is the user's Reputation based on posts the remote server knows about. e.g. Somebody looking at your profile from kbin.earth will see your Reputation as 664, but somebody looking at you from fedia.io sees you with 609.
This probably means something pretty simple, like that you comment in more communities followed by kbin.earth users than fedia.io users, so the kbin.earth server has "seen" more of your posts in order to calculate a higher Reputation score. Alternatively, you might have one super unpopular post that fedia.io saw and kbin.earth didn't, which got -56 points. But the first guess is more likely, unless you know otherwise. :P
That's fine, the point was for them to prove what they were claiming. If not for them, for anyone else reading
Is there an app or something that tallies that?
Not that I'm aware of, but Lemmy-compatible fediverse server software like Mbin does calculate a Reputation score for all threadiverse users, including people from Lemmy. I went into a bit more detail about it in this comment. Mbin users can see Reputation scores for other fediverse users, but because this whole system is decentralized, it's only the score as known about by that server, so it's not a complete picture of the "real" score.
