      Running around Lemmy condemning the blackout and wishing ill on those who supported it. That’s not a good strategy for holding a positive reputation.

      and this is the reason I like having reputation points advertised. So you can spot an obvious troll and/or someone who isn’t capable of having a meaningful discussion. It really helps to decide how much effort you put in when conversing with a poster.

      I’ve noticed on Lemmy they don’t have reputation points visible on profiles because they see them as a vanity/populatiry metric. Reputation can be used for far more than just “fake internet points” they can be a great indicator of trolls.
