Thoughts on features to boost intent for posting more?

Like a karma system of that other forum website.

I currently miss a point system to motivate me that shows people via my profile how much I could help by posting/commenting. There’s no system to create such feedback currently on Lemmy.

Are there statements by the creators of this platform about that?

Interesting. Well, I mean, Beehaw doesn’t even allow downvotes at all (I left it due to its restriction on user-made communities, not because of that), so this isn’t too bad. Troll accounts shouldn’t be too big of an issue because I think they’d leave a downvoted comment trail that should only take marginally more time to spot than a total, but maybe a “Controversial user” stamp might be helpful (lol).

The question is threshold on helpfulness. Again, I think if this issue is that big of a deal to you… capitalize off your bio! You’re not using it so far!

Piefed has that sort of thing, I think.

I’ve been making my own “controversial user” and “pretty cool” tags on Voyager. Don’t know if any other apps allow for tagging. But it is kinda handy to look at a post, see my tag, and remember “oh yeah this person likes to cause drama” or “this person always makes an interesting point”.
