I don't see how those things in total make it like Reddit. For one, Reddit is overrun by AI slop in many areas. Piefed actively tries to mitigate it.
Sure, but going down this list, most seems arbitrary and not based on data to mitigate slop bots.
Social credit scores are why I bailed on reddit. Not karma, but their "Contributor quality score" that demands people grind comments to keep the account alive.
I already addressed this regarding Piefed here.
Trolls/spammers etc are serious problems on sites like Lemmy and Piefed (and on Reddit). If you’re a new account and you’ve managed to get -100 reputation that quickly, it’s not a good sign. If and as the Fediverse grows, instance owners are going to need more observation tools to catch this type of stuff.
Whilst having +++ karma is obviously not worth note, a new account on -100 is.
