    Because it always starts small then escalates

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

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

      Escalates to what.

      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.

                  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

                    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?

                    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
