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?
Slashdot.org still exists. They just don’t have a slashdot effect anymore.
I know it’s still around but it’s a ghost town these days like everywhere else on the internet outside of like five sites. A shadow of its former self. I really miss the vibrant community there, it was a pretty special place on the internet in its day.
