Karma sucked ass on Reddit. Essentially people could ban you from participating because you pissed too many people off even though you didn't break any rules.
Karma count is an ass kissing metric, high karma shows that you kiss people's asses for upvotes, low or negative karma shows that people dislike what you say which is absolutely ok. People having different opinions vs going with the group is the difference between a healthy platform and an echo chamber.
By the way Trolls and malicious actors who that system is targeting should be dealt with directly. If someone's posting hateful transphobia instead of downvoting their acount they should just be BANNED from the community or the platform as a whole, keep bad people out of the community.

But a Karma system doesn't impact your ability to post? Or 99% of other poster's opinions of you...
(Disclaimer: Don't care either way, never considered someone's "karma" at all, ever.)

Yep,this way we have less bs/repetitive posts just trying to farm karma.
Agreed :/
In a way I agree. In my experience with Reddit, the closest you'll get to posting somewhere with zero downvote risk is in r/CasualConversation, and even there, there have been times I've had fate handed to me because of some form of bad influence. There was one question where I basically got called a narcissist for, of all things, asking for advice on what makes an apology good, and ended up getting the short end of the karma stick.

What do you mean, no karma system? There is a karma system.
In my experience with having Karma as a mod. If the person had negative karma they were a troll or a really bad person. Giving us the ability to make a community feel welcoming.
What's karma, i was on reddit for 12 years and never looked into it.
It's a system of points where if you make enough ad revenue for reddit u/Spez sends you a dick pic as a sign of appreciation.
