    Honestly I think awards are a decent way of determining the quality of a post. If a Reddit post has a lot of awards it’s a sign that it is especially helpful/interesting. I know there are exceptions and sometimes the flood of awards at the top of the post is annoying, but often it works for determining the quality.

    So people will aim to make posts of similar quality to get awards as well.

    Karma on the other hand is too easy to get so its leads to shitty reposts to get a lot of likes. But the people don’t give awards to reposts that often.


  • I agree with @tigr@lemmy.world : Giving the user the power to decide where the money goes to is the best option. This eliminates the need for a centralised account with a system to spread the money, which would definitely lead to a lot of arguments.

    The user could select something like 20% lemmy devs, 30% instance of community, 50% instance their created the account on. This way the user can decide who gets their “donation”
