    From what i understand the karma system was meant to be a way to encourage people to be active early on to drive even more traffic to the site but as it went on it definitely devolved into a popularity contest like you said

      I’m guessing the double post is thanks to the timeouts (what I assume is) due to the jump in traffic to Lemmy from the blackouts. It still makes sense to me though!

          No worries! I’m getting a lot of timeout errors today; either it’s the increase in traffic from the blackouts or the update to Jerboa. Either way, it’s no big deal!
