I would be extremely surprised if karma does not track with agreement votes in the majority of cases. I only expect them to diverge in a narrow range of cases like excellently stated arguments people disagree with, extremely banal comments that are true but don’t really add anything, actual voting, and high social conflict posts. If we can operationalize this prediction I’m interested in a bet.
I agree or disagree based on content, & UpVote or Downvote based on vibes.
Historically socially toxic nerds have been excused for being assholes if they were smart, knowledgeable, and always right. With this system, I can agree with what they say, but downvote how they say it.
In my opinion LW ironically is the community that needs this the least but YMMV. I am not surprised it is the community that has implemented it.

I used to think this and now disagree! (See e.g. the karma vs. agree/disagree on this post)
Would be open to operationalizing this (just to be clear, I of course still expect them to be correlated).
