    Here is my take on karma. Karma gives users an incentive to post content based more around grabbing attention than quality.

    I think it is for the best that karma doesn’t exist here as it allows users to post what they feel without an alterior motive such as gaining internet points.

      I kinda wish they would also hide the upvote/downvote numbers as well. Completely remove all the visible numbers that could potentially be used to “keep score”. Posts and comments shouldn’t be about who’s winning.

    Image Transcription: Comic


    [There’s no karma?, By Victor Gnarly]


    Panel 1

    [A hooded figure in black robes, and no face visible save for large, pure red eyes is speaking a room made of stone. The hooded figure speaks in white text bubbles to another character outside of the frame, who responds with black text bubbles]

    Hooded figure: So… There’s no karma?

    Black text bubble: Ye-

    Hooded figure: No greedy CEO?

    Black text bubble: Yep.


    Panel 2

    [The out of frame character speaking in black text bubbles is now shown to be a second hooded figure with round red eyes, standing next to hooded figure 1 in the stone room. Hooded figure 1 has a hand outstretched as they speak, while hooded figure 2 is giving them a thumbs up in response. There is a small fire burning on an altar in the background.]

    Hooded figure 1: All ad free?

    Hooded figure 2: Oh yeah.


    Panel 3

    [Hooded figure 1 is shown in close up again, pointing a finger to their left, with their eyes wide in a look of surprise]

    Hooded figure 1: But why is the logo a-


    Panel 4

    [Both hooded figure 1 and hooded figure 2 are shown standing on opposite sides of a large drawing of the fediverse icon on the floor, a rainbow pentagram. There is a pure white, slightly transparent glowing figure with wide eyes standing in the centre of the pentagram, their arms outstretched. There is a small white ball on top of an antenna on top of the glowing figure’s head, with a beam of white light shining from their head to the ceiling. Squiggles of white energy and red streaks of fire fill the room, emanating from the glowing figure. Hooded figure 1 has their arm slightly raised, as if to shield themselves from the energy in the room]

    Hooded figure 1: Pentagram?

    Hooded figure 2: Reasons.

    It would be nice if we could create post/communities that only sort comments on recency. I never did like the whole reddit upvote downvote button for comments.
