That goes way back to BBS. reddit couldn't solve that problem and I doubt lemmy can either.

How about we have a mechanism to reward people who contribute constructively to a conversation by giving readers the ability to mark them as positive or negative? You could then provide an overall score - let's call it "karma" - to show whether they're good or bad members of the community.

Oh, wait. Yeah, that really didn't end up working like that...
