    That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.

      I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.

          I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

          When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.
