While I no longer post as frequently as I did in the past, I like to think of my karma score as X other people thought that a story I shared or, to a much lesser degree, a comment that I wrote had a tiny unit of value or interest to them. I lurked for many, many months before I started contributing, and I encourage all of you out there to share what you like and what you know. I’d also be lying if I said secretly knowing my karma score was high when the topic of HN came up didn’t cause me to smile mentally. Even if if the topic revolved around how “HN is toxic, brogrammers” etc because I felt that these people can’t see beyond their own biases to see the real community that dang and scbt actively take no small part in taking care of. Being a tiny part of the HN community is something I am thankful and grateful for.
