85537 karma in 16 years. It’s the years that made the difference.
Most of my karma is from submissions. I don’t get involved in discussions often.

- pjc50 3y agoI'm right next to you on the leaderboard: https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders .. but from the opposite scoring. I rarely submit anything, I'm just a poster in the comments section. One of these days I'm going to scrape out all my comments so I can rank them by score, maybe recycle them into Content. Couple of key tips: - if you're going to post an interesting link in the comments, take a moment to post it to /new first - activity is highest at the top of threads, so piggyback off that - if you're going to post jokes, make sure you post the explanation as well in the same comment I have "noprocrast" set to 20 minutes on / two hours off, usually. So usually one or two 20 minute sessions per day.
- saalweachter 3y agoIt's hilarious to me that I only recognize 3-5 of the top ten posters, because I almost never pay attention to who submitted a story.
- newfie_bullet 3y agoTIL there's a karma leaderboard on hacker news!
- m463 3y agonow things will go downhill. I vaguely recall slashdot did something like "karma: excellent" or something to minimize karma as a score?
