What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?

Hey! Thanks to the whole Reddit mess, I’ve discovered the fediverse and its increidible wonders and I’m lovin’ it :D

I’ve seen another post about karma, and after reading the comments, I can see there is a strong opinion against it (which I do share). I’d love to hear your opinions, what other method/s would you guys implement? If any ofc

Karma does well in my opinion, however it should display the number of upvotes and downvotes, not just one number. Also adnn an option to sort by the number of downvotes.

And an option to sort by controversial would be nice.

Also add an option to sort by the number of downvotes.

More sorting options would be a nice addition. Although, being able to treat down-votes similarly to upvotes might encourage more bad behavior. I kind of want to see such a system tested.

Trolls would compete to be the worst.

Let them have their pathetic fun. We're never going to stop trolls, might as well let them get their dumb points while they're at it. It's not like they aren't typically obvious anyway.
