Personally, I prefer Lemmy over Kbin because I hate karma and reputation points. I do not want to worry about downvotes, and Lemmy feels so fresh. I can post things that will receive lots of downvotes and not need to worry about losing karma.

    For votes to work, the data of who voted where has to be tracked.

    Karma is just a matter of adding numbers together.

    I think the data can be useful for anti spam reasons

      How are you supposed to comment or post to earn Karma if you’re blocked because of having low Karma?! It is also bad for new users.
