I’m curious to hear if you have any thoughts or ideas about this. As a developer I understand very well how Lemmy works, and cant tell at all what might be difficult or confusing.

Restrictions on voting, post making and community creation rights for new accounts to increase and/or maintain quality of Lemmy posting. The last thing we want is Lemmy to become another Reddit with a different name and colour UI.
I’m personally against reputation systems, especially those that introduce barriers to entry: I don’t want to make it difficult for new users to start here, make communities, etc.
The main thing is that we have enough moderators, and strong mod tools to make cleanup easy, because that’s unavoidable even with reputation based systems. IE you might limit them from doing anything but commenting, yet still troll accounts will do everything they’re able to do.
Atleast with voting restrictions, troll.accounts have to show up on surface for moderation to have a chance to be able to oversee such people.
Even if post creation or community creation restrictions seem unreasonable, voting should still.be restricted. It creates a massive problem for the people who try to guest blog or make in depth comments.
