Is just the same as lemmy? What makes it different? Is it similar to kbin? Why is it meant to be better according so some people?

Is this self-designated?
I have no idea! I’m already hosting Lemmy so I don’t really see the point personally.
Just thought I’d look it up for OP.
No, admins designate it.
Most instances do not use this feature, afaik. piefed.social does but most of the others do not.
I seriously doubt it because I’m pretty sure the point is to remove the ability for bot accounts and spammers/etc from farming up some karma to appear more legit for their nefarious/spamming purposes.
I think either way could possibly be exploited.
And putting all that aside, I think all image-centric subs should probably be included. It’s just as easy to farm karma with cute cats and flowers as it is with memes.
Excluding OC communities, right? Like you’re not discounting people who put a lot of time and effort into their photography? Or even if they’re not great photographers sharing pictures of their plants and gardens and hobbies, and pets, should have the same allowances as text only posts
This is a great comment; my initial reaction was “No because it would be easy to claim others OC was your own” but then the same could be said about text or link contributions.
Then I thought “well maybe reputation should only be based on comments” but that could be unfair to those who primarily post vs comment.
So now I don’t know what my position is. The best method is probably a blend of multiple strategies that can only be determined by engaging with the enemy.
tl;dr: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
