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 agree. The less flair, the better, imo. Ideally, I would like it to stay as it is now, where your username and avatar are the only reputational markers, and upvotes and downvotes are only officially tracked on a per post basis. If you want to increase your reputation, then put out quality posts that make people remember your username.

Any other additional flair/reputation trackers besides that incentivise low effort posts. Those posts are entertaining, don't get me wrong, but it would be nice to see how lemmy evolves without directly incentivising them.
