Plus no karma farms, imagine posting for the sake of it
Why were there Karma farms anyway? Is there any benefit on Reddit for a lot of Karma?
Different subreddits had different rules. In some subs you needed loads of karma to post.
Karma farming was also used to bump up the account so that it could be sold to malicious buyers for propaganda or spam posting purposes.
Although it would be good to see someone's karma with you. If I've downvoted someone more than 5 times, I'd like to know so that I can just block them.
Exactly this. I like to know when someone is habitually being a clown so I can remove them from my life.
Good or bad I think it is kind of cool to have an easy way to know if have interacted with the random person before.

Good points. Now it's small enough that you can often just recognize the username, but that could be a cool functionality to add later on.
You guys read usernames?
No, Roy, we don't.

Lemmy does have karma
