They might also be meaningless internet points. Who knows.

    It’s ok, it was a bad and unrelated joke.

    I was just suggesting that the Lemmy system was better than the Reddit system, but that there might be a better system than this.

      Lol that’s an interesting thought. I wonder what it would be like if instead of simply giving upvotes and downvotes, you could rate every comment/post on a scale of 1-10 or something. It probably wouldn’t work at all, but maybe there is some kind of system out there that would work better in the future.

        Somewhere in these comments someone has said that it’s used to discriminate …ie “this account doesn’t have a very high karma” or not being allowed to comment in a sub cause you don’t a high enough karma.
