I actually argued against this idea near the inception of Hexbear. I forget the reasoning but it was within the realm of preventing the gamification of posting or implying upbears are a coveted resource.
Sorry you gotta share your upvotes along with your toothbrush.
would be a pretty good bit to have a running tally of everyone’s collective upbears
and total collective uses of the beanis emoji
you should just use replies to your comments as that metric, that’s what i do. i’m a top tier poster according to all the people yelling at me

mine is 5.11k… been in a lot of nerd calls ☺️I do this to every single thing that I have 🤔 big number looks cool
Vibes are okay. Maybe we should try switching to a vibes based economy.
way ahead of you boss
I propose we use the metrics of post count and join date thus fully transforming Hexbear into a BBS from 1999

I agree

I see each comment as an opportunity to top my previous high score. The record is this banger right here.
Stop worth-mogging me
a lot of subjective opinions don’t make something objective

Yes they do, quantitative changes turn into qualitative changes (lots of subjective upbears->objective measure of worth). Its literally dialectics
horses are just really big dogs, upbears to the left
ah, a consensus truth truther
Oh god no, the upvote tally on Reddit is a pretty brutal reminder of how much time I spent over there. Let me be ignorant
What’s upbear?
I rate thee… 5!
