Also karma on Reddit is basically irrelevant. The only place it matters is in automoderation removing posts and comments for users under a certain level of karma.

Which is honestly freaking dumb. Sure you can do it with a big community but it will speed up the hivemind and alienate new users and frankly did nothing to curb bots because bots just farmed karma elsewhere on a sub where it was open by spamming posts and comments. And then went right back on the "threshold" subs.

You need Karma, in so many subs. Not only comments karma, also posts karma and all that stupid shit

I once wanted to post a meme on r/memes. My post got removed because I needed a lot more karma (my estimation was that I needed 1k each for both comments and posts but it wouldn’t actually tell me how much I needed). I REALLY hope that doesn’t appear here. It just blocks people from making and sharing content with others.

Why are u getting downvoted?

Probably people from Reddit defending the idea of a karma system, they always say that they're made up internet points but the fact that Karma restrictions exist and are enforceable proves that wrong.
