That's the neat part, you don't.

Thank goodness for that. It creates a perverse incentive to post nonsense to increase a meaningless number. We will get enough nonsense as it is.

I mean, non sense is not bad, but it has to be posted in a proper place. I don’t mind reading through a funny nonsense thread, but not in a serious post.

We would have to define nonsense. I'm not implying people shouldn't be silly. I just don't want spam and bots.

You can see them individually per post on your profile but there is not a global "karma" number. Some people have made api scripts to calculate it but its not an intended part of the platform.
