I agree that is a vulnerability that will be exploited soon. Not sure the best way to combat it. Perhaps a crossposting limit/cost/penalty would discourage it.

This bears deeper thought though because since there’s no karma (let there never be), new accounts can bypass costs/limits from more permissive instances.

Good point and I hope to see more discussion around this. It actually seems kind of serious now I ponder on it.

It's already a thing. I scrolled New this morning and it was just a wall of the same story posted all over by some shit bot. This needs to be figured out asap.
