Quoting @lvxferre@mander.xyz from a recent thread on !fediverselore@lemmy.ca

I genuinely hate karma, I think it encourages mindlessly posting common denominator stuff, but I wouldn’t be opposed to that if handled like Slashdot handles it - it doesn’t give you a karma number, it only tells you your karma is “good” or “bad”.

I feel the same. I know karma is an imperfect system, and it a very debatable topic (another thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/19994086 ), but it still has its use to prevent toxic users from burning admins out.

That's an interesting idea. I agree some kind of system could be useful for reflecting whether your behaviour is constantly toxic

Disagreeing with the general sentiment somewhat regularly should be fine, but some people just have a comment history that's literally just them saying crappy and/or antagonistic every single time they engage 😅

Highlighting to someone that they're being a bad actors, or making it easier for mods or others to see that might make trolling less effective and make people more conscious of consistently being anti-social

Yes, that's pretty much the feeling.

Hope you are doing well Cris!

I'm doing alright, same to you my friend 😊

I'm weirdly on a normal people sleep schedule for a while and just had a lovely day out with friends, going to shops in the sunlight, it was lovely :)
