Former redditor. What do I call myself now? Lemming? lol But I also noticed that I don’t see some Karma score equivalent, which is a great thing to leave behind. Those imaginary points were just useless at best, and used against people who were new at the worst.
I still play Dodge 'Em, Journey Escape and Pitfall from the 2600 because these all take me back to my childhood in the 80s. On the C64 love Trolls and Tribulations, Archon, Ultima 3 and 4, and the Infocom games, especially Zork 1, 2 and 3. Even though I played them through more than once, each time it takes me back to when I first played them.
That’s really difficult to do with a karma-like system. People posting in echo-chambers can post misinformation but receive many up votes.
Credibility is subjective. For example, people on one side of a political ideology will not think people on the opposite side are credible. So who can really determine an “attribute of credibility”?
We would have to agree on a standard first and that’s just not going to happen.
