My “better self” set karma notifications to just be once a day, so that I wouldn’t get addicted to refreshing LW.
However, it seems that my “worse self” has found a loophole in that plan, namely that I can still see whether my karma is going up on a minute-by-minute basis by looking at (1) the karma total on my user page and (2) the karma on my individual recent posts and comments.
So, I am willing to pay a fair price for a tampermonkey script (or any other method) that does the following:
Hide the karma total on my user page
Hide the karma on (only) my own comments and posts that I posted within the last 24 hours.
Anyone interested?
[Yes I have heard of GW anti-kibitzer mode but I don’t like it for other reasons. Yes I am aware that karma = fake internet points and this whole thing is incredibly stupid. I (exclusively) use Chrome browser on a Windows desktop, if that’s relevant.]
My preferred adblocker, uBlock Origin, lets you right-click on any element on a page and block it, with a nice UI that lets you set the specificity and scope of the block. Takes about 10 seconds, much easier than mucking with JS yourself. I’ve done this to hide like & follower counts on twitter, just tried and it works great for LessWrong karma. It can’t do “hide karma only for your comments within last 24 hours” but thought this might be useful for others who want to hide karma more broadly.
Nice!! Well, it took me 20 minutes not 10 seconds, mostly figuring out what the filters are and how they work, for the purpose of making them only apply on my user-page and not site-wide. (The trick is here, e.g. www.lesswrong.com##:matches-path(/steve2152) span.UsersProfile-userMetaInfo:nth-of-type(1).)
This isn’t 100% what I wanted, but better than before, hopefully good enough.
It looks like you can remove the total karma score from your user page with document.querySelector(".UsersProfile-userMetaInfo").remove();, and that you can remove the karma scores from your comments with

As a bonus, now I have ad-blocking ;-)
