Because there is no karma system on lemmy

Not- actually accurate- There IS a karma system. I can lookup your overall post karma, both positive and negative. I can lookup your comment karma. Separated by positive and negative.

Its just not exposed through the Lemmy UI currently. I will note, kbin does who is upvoting and downvoting posts as well.
