    Because it always starts small then escalates

    Escalates to what.

    Only if they’re downvoting those the admins of the instance like

    I meant banned from other instances as much as I did home-instance banned. But I’d also add that instances that tolerate and endorse the mass indiscriminate downvoting of other people off-instance would possibly find themselves defederated as well.

      To entirely automated banning or hidding accounts.

      They should but again if it’s downvoting things the admin dislikes already they won’t care.

      The point is piefed built in a system people can and will game

        I would oppose that, and I doubt Rimu would do that.

        They should but again if it’s downvoting things the admin dislikes already they won’t care.

        Then the instance would find itself defederated I suspect.

            This is the system he’s building and saying he wants!

            I haven’t seen Rimu say he wants to bring in automatic bans or hiding of accounts who reach a reputational threshold.

            Defederated because they downvote what the admins already hate.??

            Defederated from other instances. The admin’s instance would be defederated by other instances for supporting it.

              If he doesn’t want it he really needs to redo the join page cause it screams act as I wish or be punished

              Defederated from other instances. The admin’s instance would be defederated by other instances for supporting it.

              Again only if it’s downvoting things the admins like

                The bit you’re referring doesn’t say anything about an autobanning system planned.

                Again only if it’s downvoting things the admins like

                I don’t think you get this.

                If say, lemmy.sdf.org admins encourages its own users to go and mass-downvote users on, say, lemmy.blahaj.zone - what do you think the likely outcome is for lemmy.sdf.org reputationally on the fediverse?
