karma. one reason we have so much high-quality content here is because there’s no incentive to gain upvotes. upvotes aren’t displayed on your profile and no communities are locked to people below a certain upvote count. if karma were added to Lemmy, we’d get a lot of pandering to the lowest common denominator and the entire community would become stratified
Lemmy originally did have karma (i think we called it something else), but it was removed because it’s parasitic, so you don’t need to be afraid of that one coming back.

This, so much of what’s wrong with reddit is the obsession with making internet number go up.
Well I still smile at night thinking about the upvotes I got.
