Sometimes I miss old forums where content was brought back up by simply posting within the topic (though that lead to the annoying and incessant “bump? bump? bump?” posts on threads people wouldn’t let die, i guess).

Post voting is understandable as an alternative but it just leads to so much vanity as a result. Sites like this and reddit have so many dorks that are like “my fake internet points… how could you”. If it matters that much to you just shitpost all the time and you’ll get those numbers up

    That's how forums on Steam work and it makes them almost useless. The only posts you see are the rage bait from people farming Steam points from 'Clown' awards. Any meaningful post doesn't get the same engagement as people trying to 'slam the trolls into submission' (FFS, how do people still not know you don't feed the trolls?) so it gets pushed under all the bullshit.

    Lemmy's system is good because there is no account wide total, so it really doesn't matter if one of your posts gets a lot of upvotes and another gets a lot of downvotes, it just means one was good and other wasn't.

    ... And then you get people who really want some kind of account wide total for some reason so they go to websites that total up the number of times a user has given upvotes and downvotes...
