For real. A community doesn't need an inherent popularity contest.
- Plus no karma farms, imagine posting for the sake of it
  
  Why were there Karma farms anyway? Is there any benefit on Reddit for a lot of Karma?
Although it would be good to see someone's karma with you. If I've downvoted someone more than 5 times, I'd like to know so that I can just block them.
- Good or bad I think it is kind of cool to have an easy way to know if have interacted with the random person before.
  
  RES has tags and labels that you can create and stick to a user
  
  It's very cool to meet people again in different sublemmyts. Feels like the federation thing is for realz.
  
  Good points. Now it's small enough that you can often just recognize the username, but that could be a cool functionality to add later on.
- Exactly this. I like to know when someone is habitually being a clown so I can remove them from my life.
- Saw your username. Do you know any Metal Gear Solid communities here?

  (found, somewhat absurdly, through https://kbin.social/magazines?q=metal+)
  
  😉 No, sorry.
Nope. And I'm okay with that. I just want to put stuff out there, I don't need points
But if it did, I'm pretty sure I would have the most 😆
- Wanna fight about it?
Wouldn't third party apps reintroduce that anyways, if we don't decide to ~~ban~~ charge them?
I've heard that some apps are already counting your karma. Not sure if the same applies to other users though.
