About 90k. It’s fine. I care less about the karma then I do about loosing the community’s, but they were going downhill for a long time anyway.
Yeah, what I'm going to miss from Reddit has been gone for a while anyway.
200k+ comment karma, from 75,000 comments. I've run PowerDeleteSuite, but it hasn't quite got everything. I think I need to use the GDPR request csv files to get the comments that don't display in the profile, but I'm looking for something that will automate this.
I'll be filing a GDPR right-to-be-forgotten request, so Reddit has to do it for me.
Make sure you do a GDPR data request first. The csv files contain a lot of stuff (although they don't contain any associated accounts they believe you have), in particular there are links to every comment. Your profile doesn't show every single comment you've ever made, and if you just delete your account they will delete the user but leave the comments up.
So you have to do it carefully. PowerDeleteSuite is good, however as I say it only has access to what's on your profile - many older comments with lower karma will be missed.
It should be straightforward to use the csv files to extract the links and edit + delete from there, in the same way that PSD does it from the profile, but I'm still looking for something that does that.
Yep, I've already requested that, and when it arrives I'll likely build something to do it manually if they don't comply properly with my request to be forgotten. I'd take them to court over it, but meh, I don't have the energy.
I don't think it would be a "take them to court" job - in particular you'd struggle to prove actual damages. However you most definitely can report them to your country's Information Commissioner's Office, then leave the matter with them.
I kind of feel like they'll just brush it under the rug, though. But really that is the correct course of action.
I'm not talking about suing them for damages. I'm not an american. I'm talking about forcing them to comply with the law and delete me.
I feel manipulated by the karma. It has no value and yet I care when i get downvoted. It's a huge warning sign to get off reddit and into a healthier community.
I had like 20000 karma on some previous reddit account i deleted a few years back. Current one has 3000 karma or so. Because I post a lot, and I wrote things people agree with usually. But it's a echo chamber, and once I start to limit myself to writing things that are "safe" from a karma point of view, I'm literally just supporting the entire karma system.
It's something very Chinese about these points. They have this social system where citizens have a score, and if they get too low, they can't get loans and whatnot. Pretty much what the show black mirror was showing, and China now has it.
Are you questioning The Party, comorade?
107k. But what really matters to me are the thanks I got from people I helped out with book recommendations.
I have ~5100 karma, I've never really cared about the total karma amount but it is fun to see a comment or post be upvoted. They feel like social points and that makes me think of "that" episode of Black Mirror, and as @[email protected] said, China has implemented that. It's crazy.
But as I always say, in the end, the people have the power. Always.
Yep, and we kinda get that same sort of dopamine hit here, just not the global karma, because there is no central place to collect global points!
I think "local" karma makes more sense and I'd much rather have a point system than get hundreds of comments saying "I agree" because that's annoying af.
Ironically, I agree!
Im one point short of 125k karma, I'm frankly stunned that my 9 years of shitposts and random sarcasm had been appreciated that much
Like a few thousand across five accounts? I had closer to 10k on an old account that I deleted entirely a few years ago, after redacting all my comments. Always been more of a lurker than an active user.
PowerDeleteSuited my 10 year old acct history with ~650k comment karma. Took half a dozen runs. Not deleting the account bc I don't want that username recycled but otherwise done. Actually kind of nice to move on and back to a smaller but more committed userbase.
170k, I don't mind at all though. I only got it because I thought it was funny to have a big number.
27k here, not terribly worried about it honestly.
I have 200K. Most of it I got it from reposting lol.
I am still a bit dumbfounded as to why people care about an arbitrary number.
I looked it up now and apparently it is over 400000. But it still doesn't do anything right?
70k combined
I discovered reddit not so long ago, since I am not a social kind of person I mainly lurked there for memes, info and news about my hobbies and humor in general. Never had the crave for karma points (or Internet points in general) but I can understand it. Posted a comment about world of warcraft that reached almost 5000 karma (i really don't know why, but as I said I was not into the reddit mechanics, so maybe I am the one that cannot get the point). I think it's quite a lot for only one comment!
When you were shitposting, I lurked moar. When you were drowning in internet points, I got RSI hammering F5. While you wasted your days in pursuit of rare pepes, I cultivated inner strength.
And now that absolutely nothing has happened, you have the audacity to come to me for federation?
~3k and I don't really care about it. Mostly because I was a lurker.. Rarely engaging in a few things.
I've never really been much of a poster, so I've only managed to earn roughly 6.5k karma (shared across a few accounts) in my almost a decade in Reddit.
While it feels nice to have that feeling of validation upon seeing my response being invited, I didn't really feel going out of my way to be more active for some reason.
15,000 post karma and 37,000 comment karma.
I think my longest and last account was around 26k. End of an era
I'm burning 203,589 karma. My current account is my third (primary) reddit account, and my other ones had about the same amount.
About 30k in karma. I didn't use Reddit much on desktop but was addicted to Apollo. Every time I had more than a few seconds I would take out my phone and browse it. I think ultimately this will be a good thing. The quality of the posts and people in a lot of the subs I frequented had taken a nosedive the last couple of years, and others had very poor or biased moderation.
Don't know and in don't care. I burn accounts regularly for privacy reasons and I don't trust reddit
347k. I care about it as much as any imaginary number you can make go higher in a game - once you lose interest in the game, the numbers don't matter any more.
I'm not sure about 30k for a 3 year old account. Had multiple over 10 years. I just used to delete them when it got attention from the Admins.
Turns out saying fuck /u/gallowboob for his bullshit admin abuse makes them really mad at you. DMs and site wide bans from big subs is easily done.
Hope Reddit dies and they have no power.
