In all fairness, most people with these accounts are the first migrators that keep the platform alive, if you block people that do push agendas (linkerbaan) it should be a good option instead of blocking everyone with a "older" account or a more active account.

We're just trying to build an active community here, nothing else, really.

Also you made me realise i have 5.5k comment, seems like i'm a bit chronically online :/

I think there's a lot of high-quality content coming from a few impressively active users on here. I wouldn't want to be without it. Then again, each to their own.

But it seems wiser to me to just block whoever bothers you.

There aren't that many of us (1 year account on @Blaze@sopuli.xyz ).

Keep in mind that we could just be trying to keep the platform active, not pushing any agenda. 1000 posts in a year is 3 posts per day, so does not require 24/7 posting

Afaik, there's no apps that do that. You're likely just going to have to block individual accounts

Being real though, I often have more than 20 comments a day. It really isn't that difficult to rack up if you're bored and have the time. I'm not much of a poster, but 10 a day isn't too far outside of feasibility for a person that's into memery. So you'd end up filtering out people that would likely be good to have access to over time, even if it's rare. If you do figure out a way to do it, might want to bump your threshold up a little.

I think that it would be theoretically possible with a modified client. But in practice you'd filter a lot of genuinely active users out, and still let a lot of those suspicious accounts in. Sadly I think that blocking them individually is a better approach, even if a bit more laborious.

On a lighter note, this sort of user isn't a big deal here in Lemmy. It's simply more efficient to manipulate a larger userbase, like Twitter or Reddit.

You can block them and over time it should get better, or you can write a script that does some checks and blocks them for you.

Any examples of users?

You can fork lemmy and create the feature yourself if you want. I believe it uses postgres on the official docs so in theory should be "easy" (famous last words). Im not aware of any plugin or filtering like that.
