Nope. Post and comment scores are just that - scores. They have zero impact on your account or you standing on your instance. Whether you care about them or not is entirely up to you.
There are exceptions, I think Piefed (see !piefed_meta@piefed.social ) calculates and uses it in a couple ways.
And some communities like !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net autoban people with low karma scores I think. Using !santabot@slrpnk.net.
Thanks for the heads up on which instances to avoid!!
slrpnk.net in general is a good instance.
This is just a single community in the instance.
And PieFed is a software that is compatible with lemmy. So basically it’s a whole bunch of instances that run piefed, not just one.
And “karma” per say isn’t calculated on piefed, just users who get more downvotes than upvotes on most their comments lose some priviledges.
