Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D

I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc

    Karma farming has always been one of the worst aspects of the other place. Repost bots will sustain them long after the humans are all gone.

    Throwaways are still an issue with banning.

    Some kind of participation based scoring would just bring us back to farming and alienates lurkers.

    Account age is unreliable.

    Hmm… I hate leaving the burden on mods but karma has too many negatives.
