I agree, I hope they never add karma to Lemmy as well. I never liked it on Reddit, and would prefer not seeing it here. I don’t even like that a couple of apps like wefwef and Connect show a total number of points/score, and they’re not even accurate, at least not for me.
There definitely seems to be a bit of hostility from some users on Reddit. I was recently on Reddit answering some questions by some users about Lemmy, just trying to help, and some other Reddit users obviously didn’t like it, and I repeatedly got downvoted and there were a few hostile comments. I really don’t understand why it would even bother anyone on Reddit.
Even though I still use Reddit occasionally, mainly for 1 subreddit, it makes me glad that for the most part, I have gotten away from Reddit and that toxic environment, and have joined Lemmy.
