It is important that everyone use a similar condition for voting.
Inasmuch as voting has a defined meaning understood by the community (“I want to see more/less of this”), using it to mean something else is a Simulacrum level 2 action which starts to distort the shared map.
If we want to change the meaning of karma to be self-referential then I guess that might work but it would require this being agreed by the community as the new meaning. Doing so unilaterally on an individual basis increases the effectiveness of one’s own opinion at the expense of others’ opinions.
