It would be fantastic to see an automated system, like with X downvotes a post or comment gets hidden, yet all it takes is one extra click to show it so it doesn’t mean much.

However, the Lemmy devs seem strictly pro-authoritarian so I expect to never see that on Lemmy, unless it is developed and shown to work elsewhere and becomes too popular to ignore. i.e. the power-tripping gods people in charge is baked right in as a feature, not a bug (it would seem).

But… maybe in Piefed, Sublinks, Mbin, or something else?
