It is a good thing, objectively. But at least on Mlem there is kind of an equivalent of the karma in the profile page (comment score and post score), if you miss that. 😎

Some may interact less though if there is no karma; gamification works after all. I guess we’ll see.

Great point on gamification! I guess we will see if it is a good enough factor or not on here.

Gamification works if your content is consistently good and dissuades other opinions. How many times have you deleted something you posted that got negative Reddit karma or no likes because you were frankly embarrassed? I did and now I realize I probably regret it.

That's a good point! And, yes, I have done that in the past...
