Система кармы на Хабре похожа на попытку программистов сделать справедливое самоуправляемое общество.
В теории всё хорошо:
1. Вы получаете карму за хорошие статьи и реже за хорошие комментарии. Ну в основном конечно за статьи: действительно ценный вклад в общество (местное общество, имеется ввиду).
2. Теряете карму за плохие статьи (какой-нибудь откровенный мусор или текст низкого качества) и за социально неприемлемое поведение в комментариях.
3. Каждый человек может повысить карму другому только один раз. И понизить только один раз.
4. Влиять на карму других можно только если ваша собственная карма не ниже некоторого порога. Чем выше у вас карма — тем больше голосов за других людей и другие комментарии в день вы имеете.
5. Высокая карма даёт не только больше возможностей по публикациям и голосам, но и позволяет с некоторого значения зарабатывать на статьях деньги. Небольшие, но всё же.
То есть да, теоретически люди, которые делают благо, получают больше возможностей и больше влияют на возможности других людей. Это вам не лайки бесполезные :)
На практике, конечно же, идеальных систем нет, и у этой обнаружились косяки. Если вы высказываете в комментариях непопулярное мнение, то вам могут массово слить карму в глубокий минус. Не важно, что вы вежливо и может даже с аргументацией выразили свои субъективные взгляды — толпа закидает камнями. Получив сильный минус, вы теряете способность отвечать: сначала не можете минусить других, а потом вообще не можете комментировать. Невыведенные деньги за статьи при потере нужного статуса теряются. Забили камнями до онемения, ограбили.
Некоторым людям настолько претит эта система, что они только из-за неё отказываются вообще вести какую-либо активность на Хабре. В любом случае, в обсуждении острых вопросов будешь аккуратен.
Тем не менее, мне система скорее симпатична, чем нет. Да, Хабр явно не для яростных дискуссий. Зато там почти нет откровенного мусора и внутреннего воровства контента, что на мой личный взгляд является одной из главных проблем всех остальных контентных площадок.

During out talks with F-Droid users at FOSDEM26 we were baffled to learn most were relieved that #Google has canceled their plans to lock-down #Android.
Why baffled? Because no such thing actually happened, the plans announced last August are still scheduled to take place. We see a battle of PR campaigns and whomever has the last post out remains in the media memory as the truth, and having journalists just copy/paste Google posts serves no one.
But Google said… Said what? That there’s a magical “advanced flow”? Did you see it? Did anyone experience it? When is it scheduled to be released? Was it part of Android 16 QPR2 in December? Of 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 last week? Of Android 17 Beta 1? No? That’s the issue… As time marches on people were left with the impression that everything was done, fixed, Google “wasn’t evil” after all, this time, yay!
While we all have bad memories of “banners” as the dreaded ad delivery medium of the Internet, after FOSDEM we decided that we have to raise the issue back and have everyone, who cares about Android as an open platform, informed that we are running out of time until Google becomes the gate-keeper of all users devices.
Hence, the website and starting today our clients, with the updates of F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, feature a banner that reminds everyone how little time we have and how to voice their concerns to whatever local authority is able to understand the dangers of this path Android is led to.
We are not alone in our fight, IzzyOnDroid added a banner too, more #FDroid clients will add the warning banner soon and other app downloaders, like Obtainium, already have an in-app warning dialogue.

Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State!
During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access.
He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology.
