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

    No, no, no, please no hidden algorithm. that’s as bad or worse than karma, especially with the incoming bot shitstorm.

      I didn’t say hidden algorithm. I was assuming we were talking about open-source software and hence public algorithm.
      It’s just your karma points that would just be kept in the database without putting that number in your profile.
      That changes nothing in terms of how the algorithm works. I didn’t suggest changing anything on how many details are available on how the algorithm works.
