Should Lemmy have Karma?

Another Reddit refugee here,

I think we're all familiar with the Karma system on Reddit. Do you think Lemmy should have something similar? Because I can see cases for and against it.

For: a way to tracking quality contributions by a user, quantifying reputation. Useful to keep new accounts from spamming communities.

Against: Often not a useful metric, can be botted or otherwise unearned (see u/spez), maybe we should have something else?

What do you all think?

  • We don't need people Karma Whoring.

    Karma is a great indicator of the popularity of what you're posting to help you post more excepted things. There's no reason for us to bring the reddit pissing contest here.

    • Unrelated, why does your comment say "Karma removed"? Let's try - Karma removed

      • Oh damn, is this some built in censorship? If so, that's really strange... Or instance related?

      • Not sure, I can see my own karma on the message, maybe .world isn't sharing Karma with .ml
