'karma' has the same use here just as in reddit imo. it buries your post/comment but it is not as amplified as on reddit only because of the rate of new content made in lemmy. And when the mods get tired of modding in the future they would just bot it based on ... votes.
iirc someone already made a moderation bot for that.
Yeah, if we start introducing algorithms here it will lose any advantage.
...how exactly do you think posts and comments are sorted right now?
There's a difference between sorted versus hiding a reply because it has too low of a score, I don't think it's equivalent.
