I know the points are there and are saved, but why are they not visible on our profile, as a shit poster these points are my applause, my credit, my holy absolutely useless internet points, I love them. So have they be abandoned in the first place?

I think we're approaching the beginning of eternal summer. Been noticing a lot of people that're coming in from Reddit and bringing the shitty parts of that culture with them while staying blissfully unaware of how things are setup here, or unwilling to ask questions to find out.

Lots of people calling it a site, no understanding of federation.

Which is fine. Not everyone needs to know the technical minutae to benefit or build communities. However it's become to me a little warning sign that the person I'm talking to might not be discussing in honest good faith.

We had points here in the beginning.

This should be a top level reply IMO. It's the perfect answer.

I don't believe they were federated outside of your specific instance though I could be wrong. Also I seem to recall a community effort to have them removed.

They are still there I can see them through mbin

[–] aodhsishaj@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So then you might be better served joining the mbin instance and migrating your account there as it seems their implementation aligns more with your usecase.

I am fine with some of the arguments, I still think the points are our applause, and we should be able to see them..... Always pros and cons, life is a beach...
