    Karma was pointless. Nobody cared at all. Upvotes and downvotes are fine and useful to be able to see both. Karma is a worthless system and encourages spamming low-effort garbage memes and endless reposting of the same shit.

      NGL for me at least it was a good system to sort out the low effort users by putting a minimum karma points

      Nobody cared at all

      The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
