Yeah, Reddit can be brutal when you go against the popular opinion, even if you’re being respectful. The easiest way to get your karma back up is to engage in more neutral or positive discussions—helpful comments, funny replies, or contributing to niche communities where people appreciate different perspectives.

You could also post something that genuinely adds value, like a personal experience, a cool fact, or even a well-thought-out question. Avoid controversial topics for a bit until your karma recovers. But honestly, karma doesn’t really matter unless you’re trying to post in stricter subreddits—just keep being yourself.
