If people really want karma, they can write a 3rd party app to total their comments and posts scores. This isn't reddit.

Why do they even want karma? So they can monetize bots with high karma and plague the place with automated content? Screw that.
What I really want is a "Lemmy Enhancement Suite" with all (or most) of the additional options that RES provided.
In particular I'm missing keyboard navigation, custom post filters (or just hiding posts in general), and collapsing in-line images. Those would be really nice to have here.
Karma wouldn't work on Lemmy. I could just make an instance and run a script to give myself as much upvotes as I wanted.
I imagine you could have some sort of distributed karma system
e.g., each instance has its own notion of your karma. Calculating karma would then involve querying all federated instances and summing up the value. So now you'd need two instances, both federated with others, in order to karma hack. Not impossible, but more annoying. Alternately, you could only sum up the karma on particular instances, rather than all federated instances.
You just know some nerds would fucking love finding karma exchange rates and keeping tables. The same people who play eve in excel

Are they? I haven’t seen anyone demanding that yet but I’m certainly not a seasoned fediverse vet. I never cared about Karma on Reddit so hopefully it doesn’t make it here.
On other instances in lemmy, other platforms on tlides, on squabbles.
They demand to change the dites to suit them. They demand, amongst many things. Karma, downvotes, porn
I've seen them shot down by other users many times.

Kbin has it, so users who really want it can get their fix there while still interacting with the rest of us.

Updoots to the left....
But no cumulative number on the profile. How are we supposed to advertise our ego- er.. I mean tell who is a reputable member of this esteemed site?
Former redditor here. Never gave a crap about karma. Just here to laugh at funny Internet things.

I'm sorry to anyone that needs internet points to feel good
I feel good about my StackOverflow points... but the Karma from Reddit means nothing to me.
StackOverflow points are actually useful, you can post your profile in your resume, it's a talking point for an interview. Reddit karma is just an epeen measuring contest.
“I just saw you were pretty active on /r/gonewild during the Covid period, how did it help you grow as an interesting candidate for this position ?”
but my imaginary internet points :(
They hold the Karma Anonymous meetings at the local church on Tuesday nights
The Karma whores aren't church going folks LoL.
If you held the meeting online, out of someone's mom's basement you'd probably be closer to the Truth..

Personally, I like "points." It makes it like a game. I want the high score.
I like seeing the points on individual comments and posts. I don't really care about my account total.
