Here is my take on karma. Karma gives users an incentive to post content based more around grabbing attention than quality.

I think it is for the best that karma doesn’t exist here as it allows users to post what they feel without an alterior motive such as gaining internet points.

Original content and exclusively for the Fediverse! That’s a good sign.

[There’s no karma?, By Victor Gnarly]

---

Panel 1

[A hooded figure in black robes, and no face visible save for large, pure red eyes is speaking a room made of stone. The hooded figure speaks in white text bubbles to another character outside of the frame, who responds with black text bubbles]

Hooded figure: So… There’s no karma?

Black text bubble: Ye-

Hooded figure: No greedy CEO?

Black text bubble: Yep.

---

Panel 2

[The out of frame character speaking in black text bubbles is now shown to be a second hooded figure with round red eyes, standing next to hooded figure 1 in the stone room. Hooded figure 1 has a hand outstretched as they speak, while hooded figure 2 is giving them a thumbs up in response. There is a small fire burning on an altar in the background.]

Hooded figure 1: All ad free?

Hooded figure 2: Oh yeah.

Panel 3

[Hooded figure 1 is shown in close up again, pointing a finger to their left, with their eyes wide in a look of surprise]

Hooded figure 1: But why is the logo a-

Panel 4

[Both hooded figure 1 and hooded figure 2 are shown standing on opposite sides of a large drawing of the fediverse icon on the floor, a rainbow pentagram. There is a pure white, slightly transparent glowing figure with wide eyes standing in the centre of the pentagram, their arms outstretched. There is a small white ball on top of an antenna on top of the glowing figure’s head, with a beam of white light shining from their head to the ceiling. Squiggles of white energy and red streaks of fire fill the room, emanating from the glowing figure. Hooded figure 1 has their arm slightly raised, as if to shield themselves from the energy in the room]

Hooded figure 1: Pentagram?

Hooded figure 2: Reasons.

What good is a website if you can’t summon Eldritch entities?

Edit: that website doesn’t load for me

What a thought…we’ll have to form opinions of people based upon what they write, not on points that could always be faked or whored. Popularity is an incredibly stupid measure of quality. I’d like to see the up/down arrow on threads replaced by a simple view counter, too.

Huh, I hadn’t noticed that before. Definitely gonna be the focus of some unstable people I’m sure.

This is some high quality OC, thanks for sharing OP!

i didn’t look at it this way lmao

The pentagram is a symbol of protection from evil. It protects us from evil CEOs.

It’s a rainbow pentagram which means only the gayest of demons will be brought forth. Only bottoms need worry about their horned dicks.

“Not gonna tell you what to do, but here is the post on Reddit.”

Can’t upvote it there, I already added a redirector rule that redirects all requests that go to reddit.com to about:blank.

As insignificant as it was I actually liked having karma

How else do you think they are able to afford servers? Donations? HAH, right…

Nice, we’re already getting OC
