I liked the idea is having awards or little extras that you can award to posts you're keen on, but what I didn't like was that Reddit profited from it
Something like that here might actually be useful as the money could act as donations for the devs to pay for their time / server fees. At least in that way people are getting something small but contributing.
Well, there is this:
https://kbin.social/awards
Doesn't seem to be an active feature right now though.
Those are more like Reddit trophies, Reddit awards are the little stickers next to posts and comments (like "Reddit Gold" and "Wholesome") that users pay to add to comments. It would be interesting to see how awards and payments work with federation.
Those look more like Reddit's trophies
This functionality is more of an 'achievments' than 'awards' and is exactly the same as on old version of wykop.pl which kbin interface is mostly based on.
