    Is this the equivalent of lemmy karmawhoring?

    No, because Lemmy has no karma system.

    I can’t see how this is related to the acquisition.

    Activision fuckups are Microsoft fuckups now. Microsoft and lots on industry observers claimed that Microsoft taking over Activision would be such as good change. Turns out: It wasn’t, just as the fullscreen CoD ad on Xbox was not a positive change.

      The acquisition has barely even started. I don’t think Microsoft has a single say in this games development yet.

        Acquisition is completed. Announced mid October. It’s not like independent Activision had any power to show full screen ads to Xbox users before.

        Huh? My guy you have 5100 post score and 7100 content score, not sure what you mean.

        Where? Does some special client calculate that or what? In the regular web UI, there are no points:

        Also, I’m making many dumb jokes about motorsports, usually upvoted, so I definitively did not need to farm karma through a single reply, just to get pulled down again by people who keep denying that Microsoft is in charge of Activision now.

            Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t there

            I’m not saying that they aren’t anywhere but it does answer the question whether I’m karmawhoring. And no, I don’t count points I cannot even see.

                no, it doesn’t answer, because karma does indeed exist, even if you can’t see it.

                Yep, I’m farming invisible points…🙄

                To clarify: I did not make the comment to farm karma. I’m active on Lemmy because as a person who cannot program code, active discussion is my contribution to the Lemmy as social platform (definitively more active than on Reddit before migrating).
