Does lemmy need karma? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Please fucking no. Karma is responsible for all that is bad on Reddit. Lemmy, so far, seems to be avoiding the worst of that.

For the love of the platform, no.
