If you want to amass karma

The good in karma depend of how many people have such objective. I dont think they are so much of them. As long people dont make a carrier of amassing karma , the incentive is usefull.

I'm glad we all want to encourage activity. Karma is probably a wrong way, but lemmy must implement something to drive some user engagement.

I have a solution: Just put a max karma: at 10000 karma you won Lemmy, and cant get any point anymore. NB: that solution would also solve inequality in the world if used on bilionaire

Karma was never what made me want to post. It was seeing people's reactions to my project/thoughts.

I get it. But dont you think lot of people appreciate having a number go up, when they participate. Isnt that the whole economy of "Like, follow, subscribe". I dont say it is good or worthwhile, I say it drive more activity (which make a more living lemmy)
