I have 220,009 total karma (129,621 from comments) and people would see that and say things like, “Wow, you must make some clever posts!” or, “You’re really popular!” and I’m like, “Well… I have a lot to say…”
Interesting Stats
I made 13,168 comments starting at 2012-09-02 02:04:53 UTC (almost 11 years ago but my cake day is May 1st, 2011). That’s ~3.34 comments/day (since I moved from lurking to commenting) with an average karma per comment at ~9.82.
I made 633 posts for an average post karma of 164.57.
Hopefully I’ll be able to bring this level of engagement to the Fediverse! 👍
Conversely, Reddit has lost one of its top 0.1% power users that writes the types of comments that end up in Google listings when people search for, “site:reddit.com <whatever>”.

Who TF cares‽ That’s exactly the type of undemocratic bullshit that the Fediverse doesn’t need.
That’s the thing, though, right? I was nowhere near as prolific as you, and just going from Reddit stats I’m also in the top .1% of active users. Reddit can talk all they want about how few users are going to be affected by third party apps shutting down, but they have a particularly lopsided distribution in terms of engagement and the people they’re shutting out are all the ones on the high end of that distribution. A billion lurkers does not a community make.
I just got mine too! 61.8MB zip file. Wow, haha.

I used to abandon accts every year or so. If I remembered them I would request them all.
