That's a rating system, which is something else entirely.

Reddit upvotes go into your Karma score which is exactly the technocrats' social credit score mechanism of fascism.

Watch the Black Mirror leddit episode (s03e01) and you will see what is planned for us, and that doesn't even talk about government shills like e.g.

Reddit is run by alphabet soup (and so are both leftypols)
Alphabet soup is the result of government because centralization of power makes it really easy for psychopaths to take control and push their agenda.

Do you think it was capitalism that removed stories about the NSA from reddit?
Do you think reddit made money by allowing government shills to act like this?

If reddit gets paid to allow government shills to run their boards, did that money come from capitalism? Does government make money?
Okay, I know the CIA makes money… by having a monopoly on heroin trade and human trafficking, thanks to government…

Maybe you should consider listening to Larken Rose from time to time.

Why do you think reddit karma is reputation? It just tells you how many internet-points somebody got, it doesn't tell you what they got it for.

If i tell you Fred is good at math, and then 10 other people confirm that they too think highly about Fred's maths skills, then Freds gets a reputation for being good at maths.

The problem with reddit is that it is fully centralized so the reddit servers have ultimate control over your karma. Even if a million human beings saw and liked your post the server can give you zero karma because fuck you.

Distributed reputation systems like nostr are not necessarily a bad thing though since public key cryptography makes it impossible to forge and you can use a blacklist/whitelist to disregard the votes of bots and shills and people who don't matter.
