How the hell did I become a mod here? How do I opt out?

      I think that all instances of lemmy support karma? It’s in your account settings, if you want to see karma numbers on posts and comments and in your profile.

        Yeah you’ve even got a little fuchsia M inside of a circle for MODERATOR next to your name now

        If I were you I’d start banning everyone to teach the mod a lesson about fucking around and finding out lmao (sorry everyone) start with the most prolific posters and commenters for maximum effect. When their Community is a shell of what it used to be because there’s no approved users anymore they might regret it.

          Hey I guess I should probably update my CV to include “Internet moderator” now…

          Kidding aside, I don’t want to disrupt the community and the members just to get noticed. I don’t even know how I got to be a moderator in the first place, and I’m not sure a mod can just pick anyone and make them a mod without that person’s approval.

      there isn’t karma as such, but up/downvotes are readily available and from that you can trivially get a total to display.

      In theory there’s even nothing preventing you from using a fancier algorithm to calculate something like reddit’s karma, but then that wouldn’t agree with what most clients display.
