When I look at the JSON response for your profile page from lemmy.world in a desktop browser, I see:
post_count: 32
post_score: 2674
comment_count: 1072
comment_score: 4459
But the standard Lemmy UI doesn’t display those score totals. When I view your profile from Connect, I do see 7133 points. That’s not 8316 like you see because federation is hard.
Which leads to reposting, karma whoring, karma requirements and “ThAnK yOu FoR aLl ThE uPvOtEs” comments.
Personally I think the aim should be to have fun (inclusive) or enhance your or someone else’s knowledge and not to brag about how much internet points you have :')
On the other hand, I sometimes like to get lost in account statistics so I’m also not completely against them as long as one sees them as values only and not as some sort of (dick) comparison.

I think Lemmy devs should add points. Some people like to collect internet points :D

How about only downvotes?
That leads to downvote trolls.
A.k.a. Kbin’s karma system when rexit/fleddit happened
Which is exactly what killed Reddit. The quality of posts was suffering for years before Spez decided to piss off parts of the community.

And the rest of us suffer as a result.
