Lack of Overall Karma Count (Less Pressure?) (dataterm.digital)

There are upvotes for posts and upvotes for comments but on lemmy you're not reminded of an overall running karma total. The lack of this count makes me feel like there's a lot less pressure for every post or comment to be an absolute banger, witty, smart or something along those lines.

On reddit I would lurk a lot because I was none of those things but I feel like I can engage more now.

What do you think? Do you think it's a good thing, a bad thing or perhaps do you feel indifferent?

I'm hoping it'll make people more likely to engage in discussions where they might not have on reddit. Of course thre's no pressure to engage but I'm optimistic that some people might give it a go and the ones who did previously, I hope they can relax in this space. :D
