Slashdot had karma before Reddit/HN. Don't know if they were the first or whether they copied it from another site.

- treskot 14y agoAgreed. But my point was before these social submission sites started using the word karma it actually meant something. Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म[1] IPA: [ˈkarmə] ( listen); Pali: kamma) in Indian religions is the concept of "action" or "deed", understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect (i.e., the cycle called saṃsāra) originating in ancient India and treated in the Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Sikh religions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma
