Not if you install a custom launcher.

Nope, it’s just by whatever client you use. You have a comment score of 88 and a post score of 3.

It is tallied per account, whatever client you’re using just isn’t showing it to you.

To be fair, I did say “well established anecdote” and not “well established fact”.

The internet has a way of taking things that are used sarcastically and removing every bit of irony. The Flat Earth Society, PCMR, and The Donald subreddit all started out as making fun of the people that are now 100% unironically part of very thriving (and toxic to differing levels) communities.

I think that will almost certainly happen to the word normie, if it hasn’t already.

I always hated the stereotype that Reddit was full of nothing but loser virgins trapped in their mom’s basement who had no friends and no chance of a fulfilling life.

I mean, sure there are a lot of people there (and here) that probably fit most, if not all of that stereotype, but the constant need to point out what losers we all are is problematic in so many ways. Namely that some of us do actually have friends, hobbies, and lives, but still can relate to the overall vibe of being a bit of a weirdo or a loner or whatever, but also it has a tendency to create this barrel of crabs type mental barrier where it just feels like the constant reminders of “if this is all I am, this is all I will ever be” keeps presenting itself. It’s tiring and is the reason why I always kept all the self-insulting subs like me_irl on my block list.

Many is not all. And by creating an us vs them mentality where I’m “us” for the most part, but not for the whole part, there’s situations where the need to choose is being presented. It’s gatekeeping for the sake of gatekeeping, and really isn’t part of a healthy community of people.

It’s a pretty well established anecdote that most of the time a McDonalds tells you the ice cream machine is broken, it’s because they’ve already cleaned it for the night and if they use it again they’ll need to reclean it. It’s easier to say it’s broken rather than make one dessert and then have to reclean it all over again.

Yeah, it was right for a while on mine, then not so much, now it looks like it’s right again, or close to it at least. I am trying out Memmy now, and it also shows a total score. Looks like it shows both upvotes and downvotes too, which will probably drive a lot of people insane.

Except for there is. It’s just most apps don’t allow you to easily see it, but some (wefwef in particular) do.

I noticed when I had made 4 comments, it correctly displayed the total of all my scores, which I think was like 12 at the time, but now that I’ve made a few more, that add up to like 20 something it says my total is 8.

Maybe it’s just really shit at math?

Except for the ones that didn’t.
