Would these be good usecases for having two identities?
This is a complex issue. I'm not sure if Matrix's reputation system can be used to "call out" individuals or groups, like Twitter callouts (or blocklists/blockchains) operate. However, I have the experience of seeing someone on Discord being called out on Twitter for being a pedophile (though I didn't see that because Discord doesn't let you subscribe to reputation services which comments on users as you see them), and then reregistering under a different Discord identity and joining servers without saying the original identity. So this is already happening.
Twitter now shows posts liked (not just retweeted) by those you follow. I've heard that has led to "like policing", in addition to avoiding people based on who they follow.
Are reputation feeds going to be subject to threats of libel lawsuits if used for false reporting?
