It’s just kind of bad policy in general. As someone who moderates a community or two. I tend to upvote most engagement. It’s just really a basic way to encourage engagement. It hasn’t traditionally cost you anything. And when people see other people responding to their posts it makes them want to post more. Etc. If you have a number of communities and you do this. It will quickly blow through your limit in this case.
To be clear. I think rimu has good intentions. But to be further clear. I think they also rush into things like this. Looking at things from a purely numbers perspective while neglecting the human perspective. Programming and numbers are very logical. People are anything but.
