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.

    That would be nice but these platforms with “instances” look like it’s a Reddit on steroids. I don’t see how a community could be shut down with the way it’s setup currently. I’m a complete newbie though so don’t rely on my unprofessional observations.

      Your instance can ban the offending instances, so they won’t show up for you or your fellow users, and vice versa. It provides a good way to exile the offending community.

        Do you know how the report button works?

        Does it send a report to the mods of your instance?

          I honestly have no idea. I’m just running my own instance so I’ll just ban any users from my federation feed if I need to.

          If you check the modlog, you can see what mods/admins have been doing recently (note that there is potentially offensive content there)
