What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?
What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?
Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D
I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc
You're viewing a single thread.
@VGarK Each of us individually, and the moderator group on each #Fediverse instance, de facto implements some form of trust [1] system, e.g. I block Alice and Dick but not Bob or Carol; and in Mastodon, I can add my private "note" about any user.
The question of finding trust (karma) systems [2] that the Fediverse considers ethically viable seems to be wide open to me: mathematically, psychologically and socially.

Hi Boud, thank you very much for the reply! I agree that each of us implements different connotations of trust, based on our experience. I understand that an ethical viable system seems to be wide open mathematically, psychologically and socially, however,I‘d love to know your view on a trust system that you’d agree on.
