I mean… I disagree with the vote quotas specifically, but anyone running an instance is gonna have to have some kind of controls, and Rimu’s being open about what’s going on and why and it’s not a big deal for me. The point of the fediverse is that you can pick the particular instance whose policies you’re OK with. With corporate sites you only get one “choice” and they hide their algorithms from you.
I don’t think it’s fine the quota is enabled by default for everybody. You want to have the option, fine - but don’t force it on people. Should be opt in.
I was looking on a couple of posts about it recently and there was an instance when (I think) admin of one instance updated it without realizing this feature is in there. That’s problematic.
