What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Getting banned in one subreddit you never participated in for daring to have a comment (regardless of the content of that comment) in another subreddit.

I see the same shit in the Fediverse though. Mastodon admins blocking a server just because they refused to participate in a shared block list.

Someone’s going to make a script to ban a non-local user based on your remote posts, I guarantee it.

Which is important if you don't want the Fediverse to become the next Voat.

Can you please explain?

Proactively banning problematic users before they cause issues is necessary. Prevention is better than cure.

Ah, the old guilt by association groupthink.

[–] minimar@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is a ridiculous response. I think autobanning people who common "killthejews@ss.gov" is probably a good idea.

You're making a strawman argument and putting words in my mouth.

[–] minimar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Explain your position, then.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Blocking a server because they don't share your blocklist takes the Fedi out of the Fediverse.

Eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.
