Personally, I prefer Lemmy over Kbin because I hate karma and reputation points. I do not want to worry about downvotes, and Lemmy feels so fresh. I can post things that will receive lots of downvotes and not need to worry about losing karma.

We need them for better distributed moderation of spam

Yea but karma is kind of the main cause of spam at a certain point.

There's nothing to gain by spamming here when there's no karma, and your content is trash.

Because karma whoring allows your points to transcend your posts, it basically makes your karma a facade for account quality, whereas upon seeing the posts used to attain the karma it is blatantly obvious how superficial the karma really is.
