and this is the reason I like having reputation points advertised. So you can spot an obvious troll and/or someone who isn’t capable of having a meaningful discussion. It really helps to decide how much effort you put in when conversing with a poster.
I’ve noticed on Lemmy they don’t have reputation points visible on profiles because they see them as a vanity/populatiry metric. Reputation can be used for far more than just “fake internet points” they can be a great indicator of trolls.
Have they announced how they come to these numbers?
Are they actual combat deaths or do they take into account surrenders and injuries substantial enough to be taken off the field?
