higher karma associated with upvotes on posts than comments
If you mean the 10x factor, that only applies in Main. If you mean that the same thing is likely to get more upvotes if it’s a post than if it’s only an open-thread comment, well, empirically it seems not to be true in this case.
I just explicitly checked (apologies to Gleb_Tsipursky, author of the most recent Discussion post, if he happened to be watching his karma while it wobbled up and down). Definitely 1x.

Hm. I swear there used to be a 3x multiplier on Discussion posts.
It’s indeed 1X.
