How much karma are you burning? (lemmy.ml)

One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don't do anything, but we still crave them.

On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called "karma"

In moving on from Reddit, I'm burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.

How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?

I am still a bit dumbfounded as to why people care about an arbitrary number.

I looked it up now and apparently it is over 400000. But it still doesn't do anything right?

Not my account, but my bot, thebenshapirobot, just reached 600,000 karma in about a year and a half. I was always hoping it'd get to a million karma while trolling Ben Shapiro. The bot is currently off as part of the blackout, and frankly I have no idea if the API changes will affect it because I haven't bothered to read them.

200k+ comment karma, from 75,000 comments. I've run PowerDeleteSuite, but it hasn't quite got everything. I think I need to use the GDPR request csv files to get the comments that don't display in the profile, but I'm looking for something that will automate this.

0.96k — and 15 years. I'm a pathological lurker, send help.
