    There’s just no need for it. I like the ability to upvote/downvote posts for visibility, but a karma or point system just encourages whoring, which leads to a dirth of lazy and low quality content

      On that note, Lemmy should hide the score and just sort based on it. Having a visible score drives people to say things they think are popular instead of what they actually think.
