MODERATORS
I disagree you're helping smaller instances in any way and posit that you're making the fediverse worse with that practice.
You're creating and abandoning accounts on the regular. Those accounts federate out to every instance the home one is linked to and exist in perpetuity. We're talking several thousand instances or more. All filling up with abandoned accounts from the same person.
This post isn't the flex you think it is.
lemmy has to be able to grow, so its better to run into account build up early rather than later.
But they're not real accounts; just abandoned burner accounts. I would hardly call that growth.
Perhaps this is a cancer, and it will help lemmy immune system grow to fight back.
I mean, you're right, it kind of is provoking an "immune" response 🤷🏻♂️. Several UIs already add badges to new accounts since trolls spinning up new accounts to ban-evade is an ongoing problem.
I maintain a Lemmy UI, and I'm now adding a feature to let people hide new accounts; they can specify a minimum age and only accounts older than that will be shown in communities they're not a moderator of.
Yeah cool. Just like nostr, the client handle filter rule.
Of the problems lemmy currently has, people making throw away accounts isn't really high up on my list of
cancerlevel problems.Lemmy.world getting so big it can take days/weeks for content to federate is a huge issue, many communities on lemmy.world simply don't show up on my instance, or my posts don't show up on their instances for DAYS!
Small communities need better moderation tools (in community posting requirements, account age, karma, only voting if your an active poster in the community)... right now niche communities get stomped pretty hard by drive by hate-engagement.
Searching though a specific person's posts (like finding a post i made myself)
people able to kill entire threads by deleting the post, all the contributions of the community disappear, discouraging engagement.
