Although it would be good to see someone’s karma with you. If I’ve downvoted someone more than 5 times, I’d like to know so that I can just block them.

Exactly this. I like to know when someone is habitually being a clown so I can remove them from my life.

Good or bad I think it is kind of cool to have an easy way to know if have interacted with the random person before.

It’s very cool to meet people again in different sublemmyts. Feels like the federation thing is for realz.

Good points. Now it’s small enough that you can often just recognize the username, but that could be a cool functionality to add later on.

For real. A community doesn’t need an inherent popularity contest.

Plus no karma farms, imagine posting for the sake of it

Why were there Karma farms anyway? Is there any benefit on Reddit for a lot of Karma?

Different subreddits had different rules. In some subs you needed loads of karma to post.

Karma farming was also used to bump up the account so that it could be sold to malicious buyers for propaganda or spam posting purposes.

I know you can’t post in certain subreddits without some amount of Karma but it is usually low like 10 or something. So I don’t know why you would really care about an account with thousands of karma.

I don’t think Karma plays a role in post viability or anything like that but I could be wrong.

Nope. And I’m okay with that. I just want to put stuff out there, I don’t need points
