Karma aka. Reputation is already a thing. It's not all that accurate because up-/downvotes from/in defederated instances aren't counted, but the information is out there for anyone who wants to know. See my 1st level reply to OP.

I'm sorry to tell you that an equivalent of Karma existed from the very beginning (though rather than being Upvotes minus Downvotes, it was Boosts minus Downvotes until a few days ago due to a bug). It's called Reputation and you can see it by viewing someone's profile in kbin. At the time of writing this, your Reputation points seem to be at 443. Reputation isn't being used for anything though, and while it can technically be tracked by anyone, lemmy hides that information so far.
[In fact, you can see who gave up- or downvotes to something and you can also see what someone up- or downvoted (or boosted, but that's a given, since boosting is equivalent to retweeting). This information is out there for anyone to access who spins up their own instance due to how federation works, so the developer of kbin decided to make it public so people are at least aware of this fact.]
You guys confused me because I couldn't see any emojis in any of your names. Until I clicked on @SgtSilverLining 's name and then the link to view the profile in the original instance. Turns out kbin doesn't have the concept of a display name, only usernames.
and even emojis (as you can see with mine).
Looks like either you have a capital letter in your username and what I see is your username, or you don't have an emoji in your display name, or kbin strips emojis from usernames.
Edit: It appears kbin shows people's usernames, not their display names. That said, you still seem to have a capital letter in your username.
I like the idea of activityPub getting more focus so it can be optimized and improved.
Just like Google did with XMPP, most of those improvements will be for Threads/Meta only while making the rest of the fediverse look subpar.
Gabs schon vor Lases, also soll's es auch nach Lases weiter geben.
@PlutoniumAcid Use F1 for keybindings of your own choosing. Unlike with NumLock, that actually works regardless of what kind of keyboard it is.
Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/
If you don't know how to read IPA, roughly "SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler"
Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it's not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be "Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden", which translates to "people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)".

Why ID 85347 in particular?
Imagine Jesus as a director of a company that accepts all sincere applicants. The director assumes responsibility for all the mistakes his employees make, but he doesn't assume responsibility for people who only claim to be employees. People who purposely commit crimes get fired and applications by people who apply with the purpose of commiting crimes get rejected for not being sincere. (That's not to say someone who once was fired can't reapply if they're actually sincere about it, but since God sees into people's hearts and minds, you can't trick him.)
Your username and OP's username are suspiciously similar...
