      Honestly, a person’s actual post history should be more relevant and indicative to whether they’renworth engaging with tham a single number.

      Furthermore, aside from deliberate trolls, most comments or posts should be assessed on their own merits, irrespective of the poster’s history.

      People are complex, and it’s possible that raving political idiots might have thoughtful opinions on their favourite video game or the aspects that make a perfect butt.

      Many years ago on reddit, you could get given gold. It gave you paid benefits. My comments earned me literally years worth of gold, and my karma was similarly increasing.

      Then I came out as trans. Suddenly the gold stopped and my karma stagnated

      That kind of bias is built in to the karma system. It doesn’t just punish shit takes, it also sidelines visible minorities
