MODERATORS
I saw a post about how there is no Karma on Lemmy, but every user still has post scores and comment scores displayed. Isn’t that literally the exact same thing?
I'm guessing here, but upvotes and downvotes are still useful as a tool to sort the better replies from the shitty ones, but I don't think Lemmy keeps track of your "karma" on your profile like reddit. Hopefully that will stop people from just posting bullshit to karma farm.
It does keep track, but not all apps display it. Several do, the one I use, wefwef, does so I assumed they all did, but that’s not the case.
This is what I have been trying to figure out
I just read in another thread that the scores are only visible in some apps, but not others. I have only been using wefwef, and it’s visible there(although supposedly not correctly), but I guess not everywhere so most people seem to think the scores don’t exist.
It’s wonky, but that’s kind of part of the charm, I guess.
I was referring more to an account's total karma, but well, yeah they're mostly the same now that I think about it. I guess you can't really have a social platform without a similar system.
