i will fight every single person suggesting that a "reputation score" is the way to fix abuse
have you been on reddit ever
reputation scores are a way to instate a supergroup of people who have made their way to the top and will never ever come down
reputation scores are a way to put down people who have been branded as "bad" by some unknown entity down even further
reputation scores are basically literally How To Create A Bourgeoisie 101

people with a high reputation score will "always be right" and people with a low reputation score are always "bad"

it's just a number to tell you what to think of someone

having reputation scores is a fucking black mirror episode
like im not making a comparison of what it's like
there's literally a black mirror episode about it, iirc
also: it's federated. someone can just fucking set the reputation score to send to others if they own their own instance???
@b i have $MAX_INT reputation, believe me ;)
@KitRedgrave i have ">'><xmp> reputation
