Posl is still small. Most was small once too. Everyone knew each other and you knew what to expect from the other users. If Poal becomes a large platform like Voat, you'll see those iser scores become a much bigger detail. I agree, I dont normally check voting history. But it is done, and like it or not, a lot of users of other platforms base opinions upon it. If they come here, there's a very good chance the mindset will follow them.
I don't entirely disagree. But what's the worst that could happen? People don't believe me? Fine. It happens. I don't believe the overwhelming majority of what anyone anywhere says without some sort of proof.
I knew a dude who used to tell me that he saw/flipped-off/beat up literal nazis at least once a week. Yeah, it's a total load of shit, but whatever. It was entertaining. And even if it was true, there wasn't a goddamned thing, aside from 4K video evidence that would have convinced me. Motherfucker had negative IRL points and it didn't stop him from talking.
Maybe it's just me, but I still don't really understand why the points matter. If fewer people believe me because points, then maybe they're not the kind of people that I'd like to have on my side.
Ultimately, couldn't you just burn an account and start fresh if worse comes to worse?
Guess I'm just too touchy about that shit since I browse furry and anime stuff and both come with bad stigmas
That's understandable. But isn't that just part of being a furry weeaboo?
And if people didn't bust your balls for that, they'd likely just find something else to rag on.
Also, just a heads-up, if you go around announcing that you're into shit that tends to be an issue with the community, then of course they'll fuck with you.
Point is that you're kind of painting a target on your back. The same as if I were to reveal that I was an abortion doctor or someone associated with the DNC. I'm not, but if I walked around telling everyone I was then I'd expect to catch some shit.
