Here is my take on karma. Karma gives users an incentive to post content based more around grabbing attention than quality.

I think it is for the best that karma doesn't exist here as it allows users to post what they feel without an alterior motive such as gaining internet points.

I feel that karma also helped promote self censorship. People were less likely to post/comment things they thought would get them down votes.

I feel that having no karma system is a good thing.

But how will I get emotional validation from a group of anonymous strangers?

That's a good idea IMO.
