One of my favorite things about Lemmy. I love that the fake internet points have no real impact and karma farming is not incentivized. On Reddit and SO, it was a good idea to try to give something to judge authenticity on but, like everything else, people found ways to game it for nefarious purposes. Overall, I think the experiment showed that karma points do more harm than good.
