  • I genuinely hate karma, I think it encourages mindlessly posting common denominator stuff, but I wouldn’t be opposed to that if handled like Slashdot handles it - it doesn’t give you a karma number, it only tells you your karma is “good” or “bad”.

    Same here

  • Sorry to hear about dubvee.org shutting down.

    Another harsh reminder that admin burnout is real, and that unfortunately choosing an instance with a team of multiple admins willing to keep going is probably very important as community builders.

  • This isn’t Reddit and vote fuzzing or throwing out votes won’t work the same, federation makes this super messy and unreliable. People voting from remote instances can easily manipulate the score. Especially if they upvote everything else or randomly upvote a larger majority than downvote, while still targeting specific people.

    Vote manipulation is continuously monitored, people like @MrKaplan@lemmy.world have created tools to identify vote manipulation

    You don’t seem to understand. Karma on Lemmy is ripe for abuse in ways not even dreamed on Reddit. There’s a reason the Lemmy devs did everything in their power to hinder the ability of weaponizing score

    Most of the time when I see someone with a reputation warning on Piefed, combined with the "new user" icon, they're a toxic user that usually gets banned a few hours of days later.

    The current threshold is perfectible (see the comment below), but it's still something.

    Please don’t try to use the shutdown of lemm.ee to justify harsher draconian measures, which themselves are flawed and ripe for abuse. The reason they shut down was ultimately because they tried to be something they couldn’t with a team that couldn’t handle it. They wanted to be THE Lemmy server, the one everyone goes to. Kinda like Lemmy.world but they were not cut out for it and they learned the lesson the hard way.

    As one of the active posters on most of the Lemm.ee communities, I can tell you they were not trying to become THE Lemmy instance, the most active communities were still on LW by a large margin (like 18 out of the 20 most active communities would be LW, one might be on lemm.ee)

  • Karma is literally a lighter version of social credit and I don’t support it.

    As much as I dislike karma, the recent lemm.ee shutdown still shows that there is a need for better tools to allow mods and admins to identify toxic users.

    Karma shouldn't be the end game, but for now it's acceptable
