Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D

I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc

    I for one wish we could return to the lawlessness of old phpBB boards from the late 90s. Weren’t no karma points to work any back then.

      Those boards were rife with toxicity. You’d have secret rooms with people attacking a commenter behind their back. Created a very ‘with us or against us’ vibe. Then it would hit a boiling point and spill out as a public attack on a commenter. It made the bullying premeditated and targeted.
