Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this started happening at Lemmy too. Its a lot easier to control what kind of content is on a platform when you do something like this.
If lemmy did this you’d see forks ripping this out, not to mention anything other than lemmy would not have it, so only a very small subset of the fediverse would be subject to this at all, making it perfectly useless
This wouldn’t even be possible on Lemmy.
Right now maybe, but Lemmy is open source, and anyone could fork it to add this functionality.
Yeah only per instance though, upvotes and downvotes are already public information so it wouldn’t take much for an instance admin to implement
