that’s how karma ends up getting used no matter what you do; as exemplified by reddit and despite all efforts taken to prevent it by its professional staff of developers.
lemmy is run by volunteers who mostly have day jobs & other life hurdles and if people who are paid to dedicate their entire time were & are not able to mitigate karma abuse like it is on reddit; what hope is there for lemmy to succeed where they failed?
fwiw i think that karma could be useful in the future; but lemmy lacks the resources it implement it w/o it getting abused.
so i think it makes sense to wait for the those with the finances to pay for the development teams to figure it out and, once they do, we can copy/pasting their idea(s) into implementing something like this that is viable and maintainable for lemmy.
