Negative karma usually comes from a few downvoted posts or comments, and it restricts your participation. The good news: it is recoverable with a bit of genuine activity.
Stop the bleeding

Earn easy, honest karma
Comment helpfully in friendly, active communities where good contributions are quickly appreciated. Answer questions, add value, and be genuine.
Be patient
Steady positive contributions outweigh past negatives fast. Avoid karma-farming shortcuts that can backfire and flag your account.
Recover karma by being genuinely helpful in welcoming communities. Consistency beats any shortcut.
