      Wefwef dev here, it’s not calculated client side. post and comment score is in the api response of every user.

      I actually had no idea the Lemmy web client doesn’t display this when I implemented in wefwef

        Can we have a talk about that? Please for the love of all that is holy, don’t actually display karma scores in wefwef. Please. :(

          Imo both sides of this argument are way overblown. If Karma scores affected you that much, positively or negatively, you should be taking a long break from social media and having a chat with a counsellor.

          I don’t mean that as an insult, it really is the kind of thing that only matters if you’ve gone so far terminally online that it’s seriously affecting your mental health.

            But it affects my experience on the platform, even if I don’t care about it myself. When people make posts and comments for the karma and not because they think their input is useful then the platform will suck.
