Against Lemmy Karma - eviltoast

There is already a total count of up- and downvotes, but please never add karma to Lemmy. We don’t want to deal with karma farmers and minimal karma requirements to post. I don’t care about the moderation issues because karma brought more harm than good. Please never add that bloody dreadful thing to Lemmy. I already saw a bunch of people supporting adding karma to Lemmy, which will turn Lemmy into a cheap Reddit clone and karma-farming hell. Please, never add karma to Lemmy. I beg you. No more karma hell.

    I paid attention to it in the short term for those reasons - like, did anyone see my recent posts? Approve of them? Disagree/chastise me? A suitable substitute would be something that gave you a sum for the past 1-3 days. The running total was never very meaningful to me.
