There’s some misinformation floating around regarding Lemmy not having a karma system. While many have discovered otherwise, this is for those who may not have.
While it’s not exposed in the Lemmy default user interface, Lemmy does have a fully functional karma system and it is visible in third party clients such as WefWef and Memmy.
Do with that what you will.
When it comes to gauging advice, or doing something like buying or trading used goods it was helpful as a proxy for trustworthiness. Older accounts with good karma are a lot less sketchy than brand new accounts.
Yeah but that can be determined just by account age and number of posts, not by the public reception of those posts.
With the exception of if someone has negative karma, that’s a decent indication that they’re being unpleasant on purpose.
You’re right, didn’t think about that.
