    And you’re leaving this up to individuals, not your judgement, right? If so, good idea. If not, eww.

      Individuals, yeah. Instance admins are going to need to designate reposters if they refuse to self-designate (and Lemmy doesn’t have functionality for them to do that, except as a bot) and then it’s up to individuals to decide whether they filter out reposters or not.

        Oh, so you’re leaving the labeling to instance admins, not individuals. That’s problematic, but you do you.

          The label doesn’t do anything until individuals opt in to filtering based on it.

          We can’t leave it to the reposters to self-identify because

          1. Lemmy does not have the functionality to do that and

          2. reposters are deceptive and sneaky
