Lemmy has karma? Nah, keep up votes and down votes but don’t make it some accumulation number. That’s what drives enshitification. Turning that data into something accumulative right on the user’s profile causes click click phone dopamine seekers to then fuel that to behavior in social settings with apps because it gets th internet point dopamine.
I have fond memories of "competing" for high post counts back on forums, which just came down to talking a lot and easy wins like "what are you listening to" threads.
Anyway yeah, the thing you don't want already exists here. It's not the end of the world if some people want to chase a number.
