you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points

Ironically enough, even though “imaginary” this aspect might be key to moderation. Assuming (and that’s a flawed assumption) that people would upvote/downvote based not on their opinion but rather on how healthy/unhealthy to the discussion a comment is, then those “points” would be useful to see above/below a threshold one would want to interact, e.g. show content or not (or even now show even as to unfold).

How about an Immich integration, e.g. a button that says “Share via my PixedFed account” or even just the icon that would then post it on your behalf?

Neat, is there a way to share from Immich to Pixelfed?
