Another Reddit refugee here,

I think we’re all familiar with the Karma system on Reddit. Do you think Lemmy should have something similar? Because I can see cases for and against it.

For: a way to tracking quality contributions by a user, quantifying reputation. Useful to keep new accounts from spamming communities.

Against: Often not a useful metric, can be botted or otherwise unearned (see u/spez), maybe we should have something else?

What do you all think?

    Nah, we don’t need that here. Karma has always been senseless IMO. I always hated when I wanted to post, or even comment on a certain sub and I couldn’t because I DiDn’T hAvE eNoUgH kArMa.
