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.

Which is important if you don't want the Fediverse to become the next Voat.

Proactively banning problematic users before they cause issues is necessary. Prevention is better than cure.

Blocking a server because they don't share your blocklist takes the Fedi out of the Fediverse.
