    I think that the “karma score” is used in two ways. On a community basis it measures how many positive contributions were made. In this case a simple role system, where these are distributed by votes/decisions, would be much more humanistic and less easier to cheat. On the other hand in interpersonal relations this score measures how important a post/comment should be for me personally. For that each pair of users should have a dedicated score, which indicates how easily both are reached by upvotes of posts or comments. A more simpler algorithm would give a user a list of trusted members (e.g. friends and me), from whose upvotes the personal “karma score” is calculated. You could also limit the number of hops you are taking in the social graph.

    Interesting read, I never heard of Voat before some people brought it up in the hackernews comments. I think that a platform has to balance echo chambers and noisy input, IMO lemmy is at the latter end at the moment. (which is fine because of its small size)
