Due to the large number of reports we’ve received about recent posts, we’ve added Rule 7 stating “No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.”
In general, we allow a post’s fate to be determined by the amount of downvotes it receives. Sometimes, a post is so offensive to the community that removal seems appropriate. This new rule now allows such action to be taken.
We expect to fine-tune this approach as time goes on. Your patience is appreciated.
Which apps for Lemmy have a form of karma.
Voyager, for example, tracks how much you have upvoted or downvoted each user, which is so highly localized I can’t consider it a karma system.
The person you replied to is probably mad because they get down voted a lot for being shitty.
