Proactively banning problematic users before they cause issues is necessary. Prevention is better than cure.
Ah, the old guilt by association groupthink.
On principle I agree with you, people shouldn't be banned until they break the rules. But practically I can't ignore the other guys point, it might not be fair to everyone but it certainly seems effective in protecting a given community from trolling
This is a ridiculous response. I think autobanning people who common "[email protected]" is probably a good idea.
You're making a strawman argument and putting words in my mouth.
Explain your position, then.
Blocking a server because they don't share your blocklist takes the Fedi out of the Fediverse.
Eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind.
