poets in the Soviet Union would take on small jobs like being a janitor

imagine opening an app and you see the local soup kitchen and pet sanctuary as listings

the soup kitchen posted an event for lunch and you hit "volunteer"

you help pack boxes and get a meal

your labor directly benefitted someone

your social credit increases

    Check out Eclipse Phase. It's a transhuman cyperbunk eldritch horror RPG. One of the core ideas is that the Anarchists living out past Jupiter use @rep, a social credit system where your ability to borrow stuff or get time on the community 3D printer is a function of whether people think you're cool or not. They go in to a reasonable amount of detail about it, including some of the negative sides, like what if you're anti-social but live in a tiny crowded space station?
