    For now.

    I see no reason why it would ever change to do anything more than that.

    Or in a political environment, or a targeted campaign by instances because someone isn’t pure enough.

    If that happened, we would look into it and likely bring it up to the fediverse.

    Also, downvoters like that tend to get instance banned meaning they can’t maintain it.

        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.

            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

                    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?
