I prefer to think of karma points on this board as measuring a person’s covariance with the group opinion.
I would agree with you if you said “group norms” rather than “group opinion”. While there are some opinions on LW that function as group norms, the bulk of the norms here are instead procedural.

It’s a nearly universal pattern with groups of humans that the more you follow the group’s norms, the more highly the group thinks of you.
