This is Karma forum. A Junction 2021 hackathon submission to challenges:

• Loupedeck - Creative hack for Loupedeck console. Solution won #1 place 🥇
• Supercell - Fighting online hate speech.

Online communities have a lot of hateful comments. Instead of fighting individual offences, we created a solution that would incentivise positive communication.

We created a forum that rewards positive communication with Karma coins. Comments that generate Karma coins are more likely to be displayed; users with most Karma coins are displayed on leaderboards; and users are able to trade Karma coins for a Github follower or a shoutout.

For the shoutouts, we used the Loupedeck console. The console has dynamically changing buttons, that allow the wielder of the console to give shoutouts (or leaderboard highlights) to users. These, we would imagine, could have interesting uses in the domain of online streaming.

• Python + Flask + Gunicorn serverside rendering deployed to Heroku
• PostgreSQL database deployed on Heroku
• PyTorch + Huggingface distilBERT for sentiment analysis
