The only place it matters is in automoderation removing posts and comments for users under a certain level of karma. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] ananesiken@lemmy.world 28 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) People will do strange things rather extensively to watch arbitrary numbers go up.

Anyone who posts regularly has enough karma that it makes no material difference. It's one of those measures with high specificity when you have negative or low karma and almost no specificity once you get beyond some arbitrary minimum. Karma's return diminishes almost completely after you hit the bare minimum required not to get automoderated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) Really good response, i just relized we were never in disagreement permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Posting comics on Reddit, I found it a quick way to see how well I made something and what people generally liked. Eventually though I started to become a little skeptical of the numbers, and hated having to play this game where those numbers might be better when posting at different times and different days. I couldn't help but feel like some of them were bought initially to heat, or boost their posts. I started to absolutely loathe those numbers, but I don't know what you can do to replace them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Beliriel@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago* Which is honestly freaking dumb. Sure you can do it with a big community but it will speed up the hivemind and alienate new users and frankly did nothing to curb bots because bots just farmed karma elsewhere on a sub where it was open by spamming posts and comments. And then went right back on the "threshold" subs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fugepe@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) You need Karma, in so many subs. Not only comments karma, also posts karma and all that stupid shit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 years ago I once wanted to post a meme on r/memes. My post got removed because I needed a lot more karma (my estimation was that I needed 1k each for both comments and posts but it wouldn’t actually tell me how much I needed). I REALLY hope that doesn’t appear here. It just blocks people from making and sharing content with others. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HelloHotel@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Why are u getting downvoted? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Probably people from Reddit defending the idea of a karma system, they always say that they're made up internet points but the fact that Karma restrictions exist and are enforceable proves that wrong. permalink fedilink source parent
