do you feel karma on reddit is the social media equivalent to social credit ?

I am not sure what you mean by social credit. Now with that said, I have never considered any posters karma score on reddit.

“Credit” implies something you can borrow against—I’m not sure what that would mean in the context of social media.

Definitely by the karma on the comment/post, but not karma on the account.

If I see someone with a lot of karma on Reddit, all I think is "wow, they must spend a lot of time on Reddit"

Karma is absolutely worthless and anyone who says "but i have 10k followers on [site]!" is very embarrassing.

I can't think of a time I ever looked up someone's account karma. Maybe there was a time or two I noticed it was discordant with their level of activity.

Karma on a post takes up some of the role nonverbal signals have IRL, and Lemmy separating out up and downvotes is an improvement.

Only in that having a certain threshold is used to determine if an account is a bot or not.
