Same with my comment. :-/ Maybe the downvoters want to point out the risk of this turning into some denunciation/witchhunting/revolution eating her own children/cancel culture scenario. I’m worried about these dangers too (which is why I mentioned autoimmune disorders), but didn’t want to turn my comment into an essay exploring pros and cons and risks and benefits and negative attractor states and ways to avoid them.
Of course, I would appreciate some explanation from the downvoters. My policy is to only downvote if I also take the time to comment.
Like ProgramCrafter I neither downvoted nor upvoted your comment.

Could be what they are worried about.
My current model of how witch-hunts/cancel-culture occurs is that when there is no legitimate way to get justice, people sometimes manage to arrange vigilante justice based on social alliances, but that vigilante justice is by its very nature going to be more chaotic and less accurate than a proper system.
So one consequence of my idea, if it works properly, is that it would reduce witchhunts by providing victims with effective means of achieving justice.
Possibly. I would expect it to be very difficult to build a legitimate, independent and just institution for that. There is a reason we have checks and balances in government.
