Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D
I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc
I like the system as it is here at the moment. Up-/Downvotes per Post/Comment to show the popularity (and express (dis-)approval). But nothing to collect per account, so noone gets encouraged to post just for the karma.
I don’t mind the karma system for users - it let me know at quick glance who to block. All of those mega users posted the most basic of content that just flooded my home page.
I could still do that by just browsing their post history, but it made it easier at a glance.
Yes, but having a trackable number is what incentivises many people to farm it
No reason to add a feature if it makes the problem worse
