The open threads are less formal than the rest of the site's discussions.
As for karma, the trick is just not caring very much.
As long as your posts don't all suck then making a lot of comments means you'll gain more karma than you lose. Not caring is the solution I use. I take things that get downvoted when I don't expect it as datapoints but I don't not post things just because I think they might get downvoted
