I hope it doesn’t, better without karma, it shouldn’t be competitive really
Never really got the point of Karma to begin with. All it really does is measure how well you match the tone of any particular echo chamber.
If I recall, a minimum karma was used by some mod bots as a gatekeep of sorts on more official subreddits. But even then I don't think it was more than to deter very new accounts.
Deterring very new accounts is still a useful thing to do.
A lot of posts on my country's COVID sub were removed by the bot with an account too new message, and it was only set to about one week. It doesn't really slow down new users but it cuts off a lot of spam bots.
