Fuck that. I had that suggested as a feature and downright refused to implement it. It will never be a thing in my bot. This is entirely about reviewing content, not people.
There's no way to discriminate one based on their account age, instance, what communities they follow or other bullshit systems such as Reddit's karma.
Cool. :)
Although account-based filtering can be useful for managing obvious spam (e.g., a brand new account posting links).
That is true, but it's a slippery slope I would rather not walk anywhere near. In my humble opinion, account based AutoMod restrictions were the first small steps for the enshittification of Reddit and I wouldn't want to be responsible for such a thing happening to Lemmy.
