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.

    Proactively banning problematic users before they cause issues is necessary. Prevention is better than cure.

      Ah, the old guilt by association groupthink.

        On principle I agree with you, people shouldn’t be banned until they break the rules. But practically I can’t ignore the other guys point, it might not be fair to everyone but it certainly seems effective in protecting a given community from trolling

          You’re making a strawman argument and putting words in my mouth.

              Blocking a server because they don’t share your blocklist takes the Fedi out of the Fediverse.

              Eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.
