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.

        Isn’t the federated model specifically designed as a solution to undesired moderation? If a server is ban happy, users won’t go there. Problem solved?

          The fact that opening a new instance still requires some technical knowledge is a difficulty facing the fediverse, since the venn diagram of people with the time and know-how to manage server administration and people who are knowledgeable on community moderation aren’t always two concentric circles.

            But that’s not a task that is asked of a general user, even if their goal is to switch servers. If you don’t like gmail, the solution for an individual is almost never to start your own email server.
