I think these are the 5 things we can all agree to never add in Lemmy:

1. Restrictions on posting based on Karma.

Abusive powermods once claimed they allowed people to post on subreddits but they completely lied and made hidden rules on Automod. This should never be allowed again. Just so we are clear, it’s both thread posting and commenting that abuse mods removed.

1. Karma power

We know Reddit has done something to allow people with unrealistic karma to get special things. I say that should not be allowed. It creates bot accounts and black markets.

1. No fake Karma

I know some Lemmy severs will try to cheat and make fake Karma numbers. Reddit made everyone believe your Karma had validity. Instead we should be allowed to know information on Karma. Something like a name list or API account check for developers to verify accounts. Reddit never allows anyone to check Karma, it should be a thing in case of propaganda, sellouts, farming and more.

1. Mods should not get Karma

Super simple problem, fixes the issue of mod stealing Karma for themselves and stops Automod Karma problems that people finds ways to beating it. Also, no theses mod accounts can’t be posted in other places, it stays in the community. New nicknames will be needed, it’s not the user account, it’s a mod nickname alias. Something like email where you have 2 accounts and only used business for business.

1. Mods that are abusing their community should be kicked out.

The community by vote should kick out the mod, it should not be the admin or other members. The community who were in for 1 month or more. If things are crazy because of admin or mods then that will make people mad and leave the community. Just like Reddit because the fedverse is not Reddit anymore.
