    Many years ago on reddit, you could get given gold. It gave you paid benefits. My comments earned me literally years worth of gold, and my karma was similarly increasing.

    Then I came out as trans. Suddenly the gold stopped and my karma stagnated

    That kind of bias is built in to the karma system. It doesn’t just punish shit takes, it also sidelines visible minorities
