    One in that list has 5 or so members and attracts about -20 votes on every post and comment. It’s unpleasant to visit a community where every post and comment is at -15, even if they’re “imaginary points” it makes the community hard to sort

    Since Jet started enforcing the “no mass down voting” rule automatically things sit at 0 to +5.

      Exactly. It’s not about fake internet points it’s about making a safe space where the lurkers feel comfortable to contribute and participate without getting dogpiled.

      It’s very much like growing a garden, it has to be tended to, weeded, and protected from local varmints for the young plants to flourish

      The script doesn’t run on my personal community [email protected] because im the only poster and I know internet points aren’t real. I don’t need to encourage others to participate.
