MODERATORS
Technically, lemmy does actually track a user's karma.
It's- just not exposed via the user interface... as of right now.
Kinda of like how kbin displays who upvotes and downvotes. Lemmy also tracks this data too, and can easily report on exactly who is upvoting and downvoting.
In the case of this post, for example-
In the case of karma- Its all there too.
Comment Karma
Comment Negative Karma.
And- post karma exists too.
Oh dear. I am disappointed to see that. I can understand the point of scoring posts and comments, but what's the point of keeping a score for the user? Is there a use for it now, or is it being kept just in case there's a use for it later?
Hopefully it will not get exposed in the UI.
I am disappointed by this. Karma ruins whole discussions, and I hope the devs never add something bloody dreadful like that.
It's necessary because the website is transparent, if you were to federate with an instance, you'd need this information in order to moderate your instance, in order to check for bots, and various other things, that's the only reason it exists.
