There is already a total count of up- and downvotes, but please never add karma to Lemmy. We don’t want to deal with karma farmers and minimal karma requirements to post. I don’t care about the moderation issues because karma brought more harm than good. Please never add that bloody dreadful thing to Lemmy. I already saw a bunch of people supporting adding karma to Lemmy, which will turn Lemmy into a cheap Reddit clone and karma-farming hell. Please, never add karma to Lemmy. I beg you. No more karma hell.

      tbf it’s still important because it what decides if and how long you show up under Hot, which means more eyes and discussion on your post

        I get that it’s good to have as a way to find topics with discussion or whatnot. I’m more commenting on the fact that people have, do, and will continue to lose their shit about upvotes :).
