Votes are relevant here is a different way, without the karma. They still show support and engagement, what’s popular kind of thing. Lots of downvotes can trigger a report or bots can be made to remove comments below a threshold for review. Lemmy is big on transparency, or working toward it. Right now mods of a community can easily see who voted on every post and comment in their communities, which is helpful for tracking vote manipulation. Lemvotes is just an extra step so everyone can see it. I like it because it holds mods accountable, too, they can’t just make shit up when no one can verify it.
