Wouldn’t third party apps reintroduce that anyways, if we don’t decide to
bancharge them?Nope. And I’m okay with that. I just want to put stuff out there, I don’t need points
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.
RES has tags and labels that you can create and stick to a user
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.
You guys read usernames?
No, Roy, we don’t.
Saw your username. Do you know any Metal Gear Solid communities here?

(found, somewhat absurdly, through https://kbin.social/magazines?q=metal+)
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.
In reddit mostly porn bots were karma farmers they spammed on certain subs where they got lots of likes and probably later on got into a scam or spam bot that tried to make money.
Funny thing is on r/worldpolitics you could post without any karma and no mods were present but bot attacks got downvoted very hard. Like politics or anything that the people didn’t like there.
Lemmy does have karma
