Karma inherently breeds monotony and citclejerking. When people “farm” for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one “right” (popular) oppinion.
I think we are fine without a karma system, but if you like it go ahead and use the extension. I’m happy I don’t have to worry about karma, and worst of all, karma minimums on communities here.

We have the same result already, for several reasons. One is, we do have karma within threads.
Another is, people will get backlash for voicing the “wrong” opinion even if there is no point system. People happily reply to correct someone.
