Tried mastadon before moving to Lemmy. I ended up leaving mastadon as I didn't find that the voting system allowed me to not only read the individual, but also the mass. Lemmy does this much better.
But I do feel that the lack of karma is nice, no reason to be dragged down by your previous bad decisions, or masses who don't understand your humor.
Oh, and I guess it's nice that one can turn off the votes if they don't like them. It makes for a better experience for a broader set of people. But I feel that turning off the ~~comments~~ votes (derp) by default, or perhaps disabling them entirely, would turn Lemmy into nothing more than a glorified RSS feed - which isn't exactly bad, but not the reason I'm here.
