Thise are good points and I see the appeal, but I like that lemmy doesn't track the total karma a user has generated. It discourages karma farming, people love sering the number go up! I know this isn't that but it still makes me nervous cos it's adjacent to that.
tl;dr you're not wrong, but let's be careful :)
That's not quite what @Stillhart@lemm.ee is saying, though. They're talking about, independently of one's instance or the FV tracking a user's karma for all to see, instead, a specific add-on tool (RES) allows individual users to track karmic interactions with other users.
Personally, I find it quite useful. RES also offered the ability to tag other users with notes, another helpful thing.
Exactly, both of those things are really awesome tools that I'd love to see here.
