Why did my post//comment score reset?

Smokeydope@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 13 points –

I was up to over a hundred points of score, and now im back down to 20, but my post and comments still have the same number of likes?

You can stop caring about post and comment score, it's not reddit here

Its a harmless bit of gamification that I like. Watching a number slowly climb as I interact and make quality post helps keep me motivated. My ego isn't tied to internet points. Its not earth shattering to me to lose them, just a bit wierd. Please get off your high horse, I know this isn't reddit.

I get it, fwiw.

Something in my lizard brain feeds me serotonin when the number climbs.

I agree with you. Also, those numbers just exist and some can just ignore them and some can't/won't. So it is up to user to give it a meaning.
