I’ve been posting a lot lately But I seem like I’m controversial no matter what I post. I came from Reddit with over 2 million karma during the API controversy. Should I keep posting or give up on Lemmy?

    I think Lemmy (or the Fediverse in a broader sense) really benefits from everyone in it to just output as much as possible. More interaction, more content, more people coming for that content. If somebody does not like what you have to say they can just block you (or if it’s really hateful be banned)

    Every person that logs in and interacts in good faith in some way is useful to Lemmy.

    What you should do is stop caring about “karma”, it has no value (even more so here, it’s not even a thing). Don’t do things to get likes, do them because you like doing them and/or think they can help others.

    I have you at +10, so you’re at least posting things I find meaningful. That being said, you post a lot of political things, so expect to bring many sides of the conversation to light. The fediverse has more types than Reddit.

    The question isn’t if you’re useful to Lemmy or not. We don’t deserve to exert any weight on your heart with opinions and upvotes.

    Are you doing something you think is worth your time, with or without external validation? Is this something you would do if you thought it was basically the internet version of putting messages in a bottle?

    When you are old and on your death bed, what will the value of your reddit karma be? What is the value of it now?

    Do things that matter to you. Do things that help you grow and be a better person.

    Judging by your recent post history, it looks like you’re doing a good job at attracting positive engagement. Many upvotes and comments on your posts. Of course, with that you also attract some negative engagement, but that’s inevitable when posting about politics.

    You’re useful.
