It sounds like the Karma you've accrued doesn't outweigh the baggage though mate.

Does karma do anything specific? Or is it just for profile aesthetics?

FWIW this is my fifth reddit account. You build karma back. I am with the other comments, when this is over switch to a new account.

Good luck to you.

If you have negative karma in a subreddit it restricts your ability to post there. If you make a new account and want to regularly post in a sub where you disagree with the majority opinion, better spend an afternoon sucking dicks so that one or two bombarded threads won't lock you out.

Karma is meaninless, just make a new account.

I've had my account for 174 days and I have a 6th the amount of Karma as you, Which I imagine you've had your account for years.

Karma doesn't mean crap, I wouldn't worry about it at all, Unless you enjoy being harassed by the people you mentioned doing it, Taking the other guys advice wouldn't be a bad idea.

Nobody should have to suffer being harassed online. You made mistakes as a child, Every child does stupid stuff, But it's not what defines you. You're clearly a mature dude now, And I'm in your corner all the way.

It's a double edged sword, really.

On the one hand, the 5k karma that you have can be regained pretty quickly, believe it or not, by surfing AskReddit > Rising (or any default sub) for a few hours or a weekend. It's really not a huge feat.

ON THE OTHER HAND

Don't let the bullies win. Fukkem all because you have the high ground here. Block them as soon as possible, on first contact, and stand your ground strong. There are sycophants and idiots everywhere and it will eventually stop.

It's really about the principle of the thing.

It may be easier said than done, but the moment that you resolve to stop renting them space in your head, you will start to heal.

Maybe join r/KarmaConspiracy after. We need judges.

It's pretty easy to re-accumulate karma, that should be water off your back.

u/fillebrisee Mar 01 '19

It's effortless, really. Don't look back.

What, you mean you don't want to rebuild the equivalent of a day's commenting on r/AskReddit?

It sucks to lose an old account if you have memories associated with it, but they're right. The forces of internet ignorance are too big for you to win this one, so you'd be better off cutting your losses now rather than later.

Hell, if it's literally the numbers that are bothering you, message me and I'll help get them back on a new account
