I just realized that lemmy doesn't have karma like reddit. I've never paid much attention to karma. But even so it does seem to play an important role in moderation on reddit.

For instance, many subs put a karma restriction on who can post which helps decrease trolls.

And while it's true that karma gives an incentive for people to seek karma I think it's overall regulatory principle might be worth considering as a trade off.

I like that you can see both upvotes and downvotes. I always deleted anything on Reddit that went below one karma here I don’t have that urge as I feel at least one person agrees and I feel like I can be my true self instead of always conforming to the sub.
