What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?

Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D

I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc

I would almost say a better system would obscure usernames completely. Only show the comment text, and allow voting accordingly.

No, we need people to have some accountability or everyone's just gonna be intolerable.

Federation already makes that completely impossible.

I don’t agree with the lack of usernames of course. There’s no community when there is no way to associate posts with individuals.

It's not impossible. Each user is still tied to an instance, they still have usernames, etc.

But an individual can be any user on any instance. Even one of their own creation.
