Ah good ๐ , I feared for a moment, that it might have some more serious reasons.
But Lemmy has karma
It used to. Kind of. The APi endpoint for accessing someone's lifetime upvotes minus downvotes was never used in the webUI, and was removed completely a while back.
The devs don't want accounts to have "scores".
If you're just referring to votes in general, that's not what "karma" refers to. Karma on reddit is how much upvotes your account has gotten vs downvotes. How "good" you are.
The idea is that with that number visible, you get people "karma whoring". Posting just for the sake of it, often with low effort, either to inflate or tank their scores as high/low as possible.
Where can you see it in the Lemmy UI nowadays?
It's perfect and as it should be.
Nice one!
People need to chill about pentagrams. I've explored enough paganism to know they're good symbols with pleasant intent. Christians really fucked those up for everyone like they did everything else. It's a shame that their satanization of old religious and spiritual imagery has affected the perception of even non-Christian folk.
It's only evil if it is upside down. ;-)
Upside down? Isn't it more like... "72 degrees"?
@xia From our angle it might be about 72 degrees, but for the guy standing on it, it might feel hotter. :-D
Don't worry, there's still plenty of greedy and asshole instance owners who get a pass from their communities because of their cult of personality.
Not sure I fully agree with the phrasing employed, but
