Well, title says it clear. We might need some condition to prevent trolls from creating a lot of accounts and taking over whole instance. I’d like to discuss ideas for this. Like, amount of days on instance could work, but I’m not sure if it would work out very well. Anyway, please share your opinions on this whole subject.
EDIT: There’s a lot of opinions, but, at least for me, looks like whatever system we’ll come up with, it will either be based on time from account creation or on activity(or maybe both). Correct me if i wrong.
There are a few ideas with varying levels of reasonability and freedom. Nothing will be perfect though.
We could have timed verification, “karma” limits, both, lock it behind an application, allow al but be very pre-emptive in our moderation taking a ban-first stance, randomly checking voters history, only select participants, or only community mods.
I’d prefer the karma and time gates, but application only could work more effectively if we had more moderators.
correct me if I’m wrong as a noob, but all I can see are numbers of posts, not “karma” which depends on up votes?
That’s correct, Lemmy doesn’t publicly track “karma”
On Kbin I can see a profile’s “Reputation”. Yours is apparently at -18 currently, the person you replied to at -1.
Not sure if that’s the same thing as “Karma” though.
God damn, lol
