Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Lol I think over my 11 years on reddit I only had 1.6k karma.. And while I love internet points as much as the next guy it's much healthier not to even see an overall count on here. Makes me hope that they don't add it so I don't have to be constantly worrying about what my overall score is.

TBH karma + post/comment history is helpful is picking out trolls though. For me it’s a way of finding out if the person is an argumentative twat or just someone who’s views are different to my own.

Completely agree. I think it’ll be very important from the perspective of identifying truly bad actors and defederating from some servers (as a last resort). Perhaps a compromise would be it being visible only over a certain threshold? Not sure.
