    This explains why people use karma and maybe why Lemmy doesn’t have it visible. But actually I’m asking why karma is available via API, and why it’s a sum of user’s own votes instead of votes made against the user’s content?

      Not sure why we still have it available in the API, might be useful for some thing we haven’t thought of yet.

      why it’s a sum of user’s own votes instead of votes made against the user’s content?

      Oh, it is the second one, the sum of votes against the user’s content.

        Got it. I’m too have no clear vision whether it can be of use. At least as FYI and maybe shown for admins/moderators only to keep in mind whether someone is a potential troll. I’m against China-like reputation systems.

        Actually, I’ve got a question: any plans/ideas or already implemented stuff in Lemmy to prevent massive (and maybe even automated) trolls/bots accounts registration and further spamming?
