I’m curious to hear if you have any thoughts or ideas about this. As a developer I understand very well how Lemmy works, and cant tell at all what might be difficult or confusing.

      I’m personally against reputation systems, especially those that introduce barriers to entry: I don’t want to make it difficult for new users to start here, make communities, etc.

      The main thing is that we have enough moderators, and strong mod tools to make cleanup easy, because that’s unavoidable even with reputation based systems. IE you might limit them from doing anything but commenting, yet still troll accounts will do everything they’re able to do.
