I recently found this Firefox extension that looks safe (I checked some network activity but DOUBLE CHECK) and brings back Karma on Lemmy!

INB4: if you don’t like karma on lemmy, you are in good company. There is no need to hate the ones that do like them.

Of course being unofficial it’s just a cosmetic feature, so it hopefully can be a funny thing without going to be toxic like on Reddit.

How much karma do u have?

    When people “farm” for fake internet pointe by appealing to the oppinions of everyone else it leads to people just expressing one “right” (popular) oppinion.

    We have the same result already, for several reasons. One is, we do have karma within threads.

    Another is, people will get backlash for voicing the “wrong” opinion even if there is no point system. People happily reply to correct someone.
