I am curious to hear opinions on the concept of user karma in general.
Do people miss it?
Are we better off without it?
From a technicial perspective, I don’t see why it couldn’t be implemented. I understand Lemmy doesn’t track this explicitly. However, using a users post and comment history you could come to a number pretty easily, right? I was considering making a toy app that would take a user and instance and spit out a karma score for post and comments, what would stop others from doing the same?
Will it be inevitably pulled into existence by Lemmy users as we mature the platform?
I dont LOVE user karma bc then people karma farm and do gimmicky stuff tryna become popular and reddit famous to get a ‘high score’ (or ig it’d be kbin famous if that applied here) and i didnt like those posters that much bc it was like all their posts are gimmicky
