ConstructiveVandalism

Ahhh, got it. Well then someone would press the button and use as much of his money as needed to find the next person that is supposed to press it. And right in the moment kills this person and stops the game forever.

Still, would be a really terrible feature

That would fast lead to humanity extinction. There are also people risking a 50/50 chance

1. as I mentioned, I can see benefits for some people and communities
2. I’m not voting for it, but I also disagree with it being something that „ruins Lemmy“

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.

As long as the karma isn’t linked to any decision making power, how would it influence me if someone feels like a god and becomes an asshole? Assholes are everywhere with and without karma. And being an asshole with lots of karma fast leads to losing all of it again through downvotes.

I couldn’t care less about karma, but if it makes someone happy or more attached to use PieFed/Lemmy, go for it.

And who cares? You can’t buy anything with it, so let them farm it. If they are successful it means they post things people upvote/like. Could be worse for the community

Why do you think so? I don’t believe it has such an impact. Karma is nice for some people because of whatever reasons they have and everyone else just don’t care about it.

Only impact I can see is communities requiring Karma to post. But that shouldn’t be too much of an issue for most users.
