I can finally denounce the lizard people conspiracy to steal my catfood!!! Damn you lizard people! Buy your own cat food!!! This is mine to eat!!!
"Shitty dick triples, triple dipped in shitty applesauce" could not exist in karma world. Really think about that.
Fork the code, add Karama, and run an instance.
No karma system, no karma whore.
What are these upvotes? Here, take one.
Let's meta
Other than karma to post limits, I've never understood why people gave a shit about fake internet points.
Its original intent was to filter good vs. bad content. Prior to karma/voting systems, message boards were just a list of the most recent posts by anyone. With a voting system, people can decide what content best fits the community's purpose. If I post a dog image on a cat forum, people can downvote the post so newcomers aren't seeing dog pictures on a forum about cats. Without karma, you're relying entirely on moderators to manage that. It's basically crowd sourced moderation.
Karma has other issues for sure. It can be manipulated with bots. People tend to use it to say "I don't like this opinion" and not to say "this opinion is within the domain of this forum".
All of that being said, I believe karma systems should be hidden from the users. Jerboa is an Android app for Lemmy and it shows the karma count. I don't prefer that. I like being able to vote, but I don't want to feel the bias of "big number == good opinion". But I think karma is a good system for helping moderate the content that shows up in a forum. It's a democratic way of managing content. But it probably has room for improvement.
