Good! The only role of good 'karma' should only have ever been about content quality and therefore content visibility. Content of bad quality can be reported or blocked.
Ranking a user's value based essentially 'how long they've been here' isn't meaningful. Even giving users a score based on their average votes would still prioritise groupthink and homogeny.
I never really got the appeal of having a lot of total karma. I guess it was "neat" having over 100,000 comment karma, but really I care more about how well received an individual post or comment is, which lemmy still largely retains.

Karma wouldn't work on Lemmy. I could just make an instance and run a script to give myself as much upvotes as I wanted.

I hope that this will never be a thing lol. Most annoying "feature" of reddit
Actually I think the whole upvote system sucks. I prefer 4chan, every comment is equal and people just ignore dumb shit. The upvote system promotes popular opinions and discourages saying anything that remotely goes against the flow. It's what made reddit such a echo-chamber circle-jerk place.

Stuff like karma directly contributes to an environment where things are said and done for approval instead of genuine expression. I hope the new platforms don't include anything like it.

I never understood the karma thing. Why do I care about a made up number. Unless it equates to something tangible. I can see it to help with spam bots, but that's about it.
For one thing it always spins it's own shadowbusiness. People with lots of karma did sell their accounts for a quick buck in the past. That also made the platform more full of bots.

Are they? I haven’t seen anyone demanding that yet but I’m certainly not a seasoned fediverse vet. I never cared about Karma on Reddit so hopefully it doesn’t make it here.
On other instances in lemmy, other platforms on tlides, on squabbles.
They demand to change the dites to suit them. They demand, amongst many things. Karma, downvotes, porn
I've seen them shot down by other users many times.

What I really want is a "Lemmy Enhancement Suite" with all (or most) of the additional options that RES provided.
In particular I'm missing keyboard navigation, custom post filters (or just hiding posts in general), and collapsing in-line images. Those would be really nice to have here.

Can’t wait for Lemmy to take off and then have people forever being “ omg I was here before the Reddit lot hipsters” but they got here 10 mins ago like me.
