I don't like karma. It incentivizes short, meme-y posts since those are things that get gets a lot of karma.

That's correct. It's also horrible for the comments section because people hate-downvote comments they disagree with, which in turn leads to people avoiding making possibly unpopular comments. It's really hurtful to meaningful discussion.

Upload and down vote are still present, and unless I'm mistaken this comment section I'm looking at is still sorted by vote score.

Hate down votes are inevitable, I don't think they are a result of your total number of points being displayed on your profile.

I believe downvotes can be disabled at the instance level. (Small note)
