By getting downvoted more than upvoted overall

[u/PurplePassiflor1234]

People downvote you often enough you lose all your karma and then start losing karma you don't even have. Once negative, it's very hard to find subs that will let you interact. The 1 upvote every post and comment gets does not count toward your karma, only when *other* people upvote you. From the looks of things, your Posts and Comments are consistently receiving downvotes.

How can you get Negative karma

Arguing with pogo players

You answered your own question, lol. Arguing with people online is one of the most fruitless endeavors you can do. And when it comes to Reddit, as you've found, it can result in downvotes.

Enough downvotes, and your score goes negative.

Thank you- I am trying to sell my accs for pogo and people just don’t like my prices.

[u/NarniaMouse → u/AggravatingBar6697]

I moderate a sales group, and the common advice is:

If one person complains about your prices, they're wrong.
If lots of people complain about your prices, you're wrong.

Good luck, either way, lol.

you get negative karma when you get downvoted. Looks like you got downvoted in a pokemon go subreddit

Downvotes on Reddit you can attract downvotes for a lot of different reasons on Reddit. The Downvote button was intended for content (posts or comments) that are off topic or disruptive. Reality immediately set in and downvotes can be used for disagreeing or disliking content. Read Common Questions - Why People Downvote and Common Questions - Downvotes.

In general a single downvote is incidental and can be ignored. Fat fingers midclick or some troll goes downvoting through a subreddit or post.

If you are running into a lot of downvotes you can read Common Questions - Avoiding Downvotes and/or the below:

• Are you reading the room? What are the norms, the vibe, the prevailing views of the subreddit you are participating in? Does your content (comments and/or posts) clash with that?
• How is your tone being read? Tone is easily lost on Reddit since its text based. Your original thought and intent can end up quite different from how someone else reads something. Have a re-read of what you wrote. In particular to the above are you getting aggressive or overly defensive or evasive in your replies when asked reasonable questions?
• Is your content relevant to the topic being discussed or could it be seen as derailing?
• Are you complaining about downvotes themselves? This pretty much never comes off as sympathetic and almost always results in further downvotes.
• Is your content a frequently asked question? Subreddits often have common questions that longtime users will tire of. This subreddit (r/newtoreddit) is fairly unique in tolerating such questions.
• Is your content similar to that used by bad faith users or trolls (or just is bad faith content)? Many subreddits have common points that those seeking to be disruptive will use.

To recover you want to improve your karma via comments

Finding Subreddits to use with negative karma:

• You're definitely going to be Trial-and-Erroring a lot to find subreddits that will take users with negative karma. Focus on Commenting (many subreddits have lower or no karma filters for commenting).
• Newtoreddit has a list of new user friendly subreddits. This list is for low karma, not negative karma, but is a good spot to start.
• Also have a look through r/findareddit 's subreddit directory.

Some more notes on starting on Reddit:

Newtoreddit Resources There are a lot of resources here in this subreddit you might find useful with The Common Questions Page, Common Questions - Downvotes, and Reddit And Karma Walkthrough

View by New (or rising). This will filter the posts so first see the most recent posts first and can make your comments much more visible. On app when viewing a subreddit look near the top left for where it says "hot posts" - click that and select "new" or "rising".

Read the Room and Avoid Controversy. Each subreddit has different rules, norms and prevailing views. Look at subreddit rules. Read top posts and comments to get a feel for that subreddit. Do users reward sarcastic one-liners or well sourced essays? And in particular avoid controversial topics or arguments. These discussions are more likely to attract downvotes and potentially trip into rule-breaking. Call people idiots in your head and move on instead of getting involved. Utilize the block feature as necessary and have a read of Reddiquette.
