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 definitely can and "karma" definitely exists. Some apps show it, some don't.

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.
