Christian version: do onto others as you’d want them to do onto you
Buddhism: don’t get bad karma
Islam: None of you has faith until he loves for his brother or his neighbor what he loves for himself

In Buddhism, for example, the view of what accumulates karma differs depending on lineage. Even “good” karma can cause you to be reborn (in the god realm), so being “nice” is also to be avoided, just as is being “mean.” Of course, being “nice” and being “kind” are actually different things – one is selfish (I’m being nice to get what I want) and the other is selfless.
