      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?

                    As I said it screams act like I wish or be punished on piefed

                    Based on shit just works and certain users absolutely nothing unless it’s against things that make the democratic party look good.

                    I’m not even being hypocritical it’s things that have happened specifically because people were/are angry when they learned lemmy was made by communists.

                    Hence why people see certain parts of piefed as being censoring as it’s some of the worst parts of reddit being brought back
