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.
I wish I knew the best solution. I think having a captcha for signups would help lower the amount as well as an activated email address, though that’s relatively easy to game. I don’t really know if having a minimum account age would help a lot though, but it probably would. Having a minimum karma is useful on the old site, but I don’t think that’s accessible here.
Don’t know if this carries over to Lemmy, but on Kbin I can see a “Reputation” score on profiles.
I wasn’t been able to see a reputation score when I looked at my profile, just the number of posts and comments. That may be easier to see on the site admin side IDK. I guess a combined post/comment score could be used as a way to avoid people using inactive accounts over the minimum account age to vote, but it’s not an ideal solution IMO.
All I can say is Kbin shows it in your profile (on mobile you need to scroll right to see the tab, but it’s there). You seem to currently be at +6.
