Sounds like this is meant to be applied to specific situations, users who normally stumble into a new sub *not* though some controversy will not notice a difference.

New users who stumble upon a sub don’t have negative subreddit karma.

This feature is harmful for discourse and encourages circlejerking more than Reddit already does.

Sure, just like shadow bans are *supposed* to only be applied to spam bots, and bans are only *supposed* to be applied to actual rule breakers. We both know that isn't the case, and the mods here are rock hard at the prospect of another tool to silence dissent. I'd be amazed if a single person utilizes this with an honest intent.
