MODERATORS
I'm not disagreeing about the result, Lemmy definitely feels less spammy/trolly, but either you or I have misunderstood something about registration. As far as I'm aware, any rate-limiting, proof of personhood, email verification, etc. is completely a per-instance thing. So all you'd need is an instance that's permissive to get heaps of accounts. Or even if there aren't any permissive ones (that haven't been defederated), you could host a private instance, or sign up on multiple instances. However permissive Reddit is, I don't think Lemmy fundamentally has the capability to be particularly restrictive.
I think the difference is that there's no incentive to rack up karma on Lemmy, so a lot of the trolls and reposters ignore it.
