Itβs probably unhealthy to have such an attachment to fake internet points that do literally nothing.
I guess for me Reddit lasted longer and grew bigger than I expected it to, so I see this as a natural progression. It grew much further than it had any right to, I think.
I don't exactly have such a huge attachment but for 4 years of using reddit as a silent lurker, I only ever started posting and gaining karma last month.. i got about 9k since then so yeah... having to restart is draining a bit... but like you said, it doesn't really matter.
My only trepidation comes from the niche communities on Reddit that I loved and whether they'll transfer over to the fediverse. /R/woodworking for instance has some of the most supportive, pleasant users I've ever interacted with.
