I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

    Karma farming, where you boost up the reputation of an account so you can sell it. Propagandists and marketers will pay more for an account that looks like a real user in good standing. So you keep the account busy and raise its karma by whatever means, including repeating formerly popular posts and using bots to boost them.
