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.

MODERATORS
The Karma system was never a great system, I thought. Due to group think on Reddit, at times people get downvoted for no good reason. I think it's good to have a little diversity and not just have a model. I like Lemmy so far a lot and I think it is getting better and better. This is exactly how red it should have been, but they ruined it, of course.

I've been using Connect for Lemmy, and it lists all your points on your profile. I didn't even realize that wasn't included on the website until right now.

You are in for a hell of a ride when you figure out that folks STILL downvote randoms for self-validation purposes, even if theres no "punishment" for the other user.

Do people really consider karma to mean the sum of your comments' and posts' points and not the points themselves?

idk, I say the same stuff regardless. Sometimes people like what I say, sometimes they don't
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.

I never paid attention to the karma and would say what I fucking wanted to anyway. The votes mean nothing to people who don't sort by the dumb shit algorithms.
