    True that they always game the system, but we can upvote everyone if you feel like it’s in good faith. That would solve both of these. Also, are bad faith posts really a problem? I’ve only seen people getting buried. Tagging users would go a long way.

      Yup, I try to upvote anyone that’s being constructive, downvote people if they’re being troll-ish, and leave useless but harmless posts alone.

      And I don’t think tagging people is enough since they can still harass people, post disgusting stuff (e.g. scat porn, CSAM), etc, all of which makes lemmy less attractive to the people we want to retain. So moderation tools to identify and remove repeat offenders is essential to the long-term health of the project.

        I can agree with that, having tagging and moderation tools would be the best imo.
