I receive this post's stimulus, condense my individual thoughts into a new stimulus, and output it as a post for future readers. Sometimes I receive stimuli from those readers (votes, responses) and the cycle feeds back on itself, usually attenuating until the conversation fades out but occasionally amplifying in intensity until the conversation fails spectacularly (ban, rage-quit, Godwin's law, etc). We're the neurons in this society's brain. On karma points (roughly how aligned is the individual's signaling with the group's signaling), it's useful to the individual for calibrating their (outputted) opinions to better align with the group's. That was a critical piece of surviving as a social creatures.
