It is, although it was unintentional karma farming, I had no expectations that this would go above, idk, 7.
The issue is (was?) that it’s difficult to make a more high-effort post without singling out users, which I don’t want. This is why I didn’t say anything like this until now. But this is now solved with habryka greenlighting a private channel. If I’ll say anything else about this, I’ll do it there.
fwiw I think most peopel karma farming are also doing it approximately as unintentionally as you did here. I agree with you there’s a problem here but, like, the problem lives in the distributed system.
I refrained from upvoting your comment despite agreeing with it.
Relatedly, I think the agreement vote button helps me upvote low-substance comments I agree with less. It’s a convenient outlet for the instinct to make my support known. Posts don’t have an agreement button though.
I think in my favorite world, we made it feel more like reacts were the way to signal support for low-substance comments, and Approval Vote was more of a deliberate choice.
This post is perhaps ironically an example of itself. :P

I don’t understand how reacts can be used to signal support for low-substance comments. Like using thumbs up instead of upvote?
Related to the thread, I also want posts to have agreement karma.
