  Reddit Karma is not good, I don’t want a Karma system on the Fediverse. That was one of the worst things about Reddit. Karma is essentially ass-kissing points, you get them for kissing ass, and you loose them for making people butt-hurt.

  I can’t support that, it creates nasty psychological patterns that make people prone to siding with popularity and not with what’s right.

    You dont have a karma system on the fediverse, only admins can see it.

    Individuals dont know what their score is, there is no benefit to them trying to farm it because they cant see or use it.

    This is the most overblown criticism of piefed around.

      It’s a score that is controlled by other people, which causes restrictions if it gets too low.

      It’s moderation by popularity. I can’t and won’t support that.

        It causes zero restrictions if it gets too low, all that happens is admins see a red ! next to a username.

  Then make it a clear, public figure. Make it transparent.

    Why? It’s an admin tool.

    Users overall don’t want karma farming accounts.

      Because this is Lemmy, the whole point for me at least when decentralized, democratized; making non-privacy based knowledge exclusive to the effective elites goes against that principle to me. Perhaps that’s not why you’re here, but it does matter to me. It’s the same reason I think the Modlog is a vital part of the Lemmy appeal; more transparency with users as community members, not just customers.

        There is nothing “democratised” about Lemmy. No where in the software does it support that any more Reddit does. It still relies on admins and mods making decisions.

        The only thing on offer is decentralised content aggregation.

        And why would you want karma farming accounts? They were the worst part of the reddit experience.
