As for the lack of shitposting I think this is more down to the fact that most of Discourse’s customers are corporation who have paid mods that manage their message boards and shutdown post/conversations that are off brand or topic immediately.

If you are actually advocating that the Fediverse use Discourse’s service you have to be out of your mind. The Fediverse is practically allergic to corporations and exporting that lvl of control wouldn’t sit well with the community at large let alone most of the Admins (nevermind the cost).

A Karma system may or may not be a good addition to the Fediverse but Discourse certainly wouldn’t.

Isn’t this just Karma with extra steps?

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Downloading a car is relatively easy. It’s printing that’s a bitch.
