Cool, cool.

Enough people do care and attribute value that it leads to negative outcomes. On reddit having higher karma numbers was treated as a user being 'worth more' for decisions. After a decade or so not having karma on a new account led to negative experience for new users by being gated out of popular communities until they farmed some karma.

    Yeah, but you didn’t answered my question. How would it affect me without being linked to such restrictions?

    However, I can see a point communities trying to set a low limit to decrease spamming a little bit. And I also can see communities that would like to have people involved in comments first before they are allowed to post. Sure, most communities don’t need such a rule, but (community-based) karma could be a way to make something like that easily achievable.

    The good part compared to Reddit is: in Fediverse its way easier to copy a popular community. CommunityXY@piefed.world requires Karma now to post and you don’t like this rule? Start communityXY@piefed.zip without that rule and let the people decide what they prefer.
