    My guess: they come from a reddit “mindset” where it makes sense to start collecting karma to then sell the account or use it for some specific purpose. Since Lemmy - afaics - does not have the concept of karma, it just doesn’t make sense.

      We don’t have totaled upvotes but I guess a really popular user could have influence. There are shockingly few contributing ATM.

      But I often think, were I paying someone to influence public opinion, I’d fire anyone who said they put effort into lemmy.
