Against Lemmy Karma (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by gylotip@lemmy.world to c/general@lemmy.world

There is already a total count of up- and downvotes, but please never add karma to Lemmy. We don't want to deal with karma farmers and minimal karma requirements to post. I don't care about the moderation issues because karma brought more harm than good. Please never add that bloody dreadful thing to Lemmy. I already saw a bunch of people supporting adding karma to Lemmy, which will turn Lemmy into a cheap Reddit clone and karma-farming hell. Please, never add karma to Lemmy. I beg you. No more karma hell.

Lmao... The TOTAL karma one had was never important. They will still look at how many upvotes is next to their comment, because that's a measure of attention. They still want attention.

It won't make a difference if you can see your total karma or not, ppl will farm upvotes.
