Karma - does Lemmy have it? (vlemmy.net)

Fake internet points. Karma. Whatever you call it... does Lemmy have the equivalent? There is an undeniable motivator in trying to earn more karma as a badge of honor.

Other things like badges to "earn", and you have a silly but valid social award system for pushing people to contribute content.

Does Lemmy have any of this?

The drawbacks outweigh any advantages. 'Karma' becomes the status symbol, leading to wisecracks, puns, and irrelevancies instead of intelligent dialogue.

All karma is bad karma. I'll take none, please.
