karma (or upvotes-downvotes aka simple karma) shouldn't be a reason to disallow someone from using a lemmy community
I don't know what form of karma Wander meant, but for me the "global karma" numbers are the worst part of reddit. People constantly posting stupid things or self-censoring to try to make number go up.
I never thought about that, but with your global karma comment I think community karma might not be a bad idea. You could see which communities a person has good standing with, which ones they barely visit, and which ones they might cause issues on. It could say a lot about how a user operates and their views are a very quick glance. I kinda like that idea.
Requiring minimum positive karma is stupid when it can be gamed so easily.
Someone with very negative karma is likely a troll.
