Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Lemmy should consider potentially renaming the “Karma” system to “Social Credit Score”?
This playful nod to the concept of social credit in China and other countries could serve as an ironic commentary on surveillance and governance, resonating with users familiar with global critiques of social credit systems.
Reasoning:
- Cultural Relevance: This name change could spark discussions about social justice, governance, and global inequality while attracting attention to Lemmy’s stance on leftist values.
- Humour: It introduces a layer of satire that aligns with the platform’s ethos, making interactions more engaging.
- Memorability: A unique name like “Social Credit Score” could enhance brand identity, making the platform stand out in digital discussions.
Adopting “Social Credit Score” instead of “Karma” could add depth and humor to user interactions, reflecting Lemmy’s political leanings while encouraging critical conversations.
No, because people will take it seriously and we don’t want that.
reflecting Lemmy’s political leanings
I’m not here for that at all., and I tend to block anyone who makes their political ideology their entire identity. Can we not just be people talking to other people about cool stuff and leave the political ideology at the door? Geesh!
Like, I don’t want this place to be a lefty circlejerk any more than I want it to be a rightwing circle jerk. Not everything has to have a political angle to it.
I also refuse to let
.mlset the tone for the entirety of Lemmy.yeah political circlejerks are annoying whichever side of the political spectrum it’s on tbh
circlejerks for the software freedom spectrum however…

Well put :)
Lemmy has a karma system? Where?
(It’s a troll post anyway, isn’t it.)
Sorry if I’m wrong, but your post reads suspiciously like it was written by ChatGPT.
No, i wrote it.
Sounds like something an AI would say… /j
Damn, you caught me
/s
Tbh tho some of the sentences sound soooo AI generated:

My bad then. I very much associate bolded bullet points with LLMs. :)
Am I missing something, or does karma (as a cumulative per-user measure) not play any functional role in Lemmy anyway?
NGL I’d love it if that term was customizable by each server admin. Definitely funny, but not sure that it belongs in vanilla Lemmy.
Since when does that score is called Karma?!
Also obvious AI Slop is AI.
i kinda like mbins ‘reputation points’ ex:
Ooh, what’s mine?

It’s cool but no SCS/karma is even better.
Fuck that that… Just use credit score to determine whose opinion is worthy!
No.
Ew, no.
