Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?
Sorry for being a new user I guess 🙄
I want to see your comments, but not your posts until there’s some bare evidence you’re not a spammer.
Hah. Lemmyverse peoples are all about censorship. “How can I filter this” “How can I censor that” “Let’s defederate from this and that instance” Etc.
The whole point is that everyone can do their own censorship, instead of one person doing it for everyone.
Nobody wants to see everything.
I definitely agree on the first part. But: there’s enough ppl who want to see everything. And even if you don’t, a lot of ppl just subscribe to their favourite communities and that’s it. That’s totally fine.
I feel like that’s why people need to carefully pick the instance they call home. If you join a large enough instance there are likely going to be a lot of calls to filter out various things you might want.
Indeed! It’s almost like people got fed up of their internet experience being a flaming pile of garbage.
Worst case is you’re essentially invisible for a week. I’ve had plenty of platforms have a waiting period to join so not a huge issue. Also easy for bots to bypass by making a bunch of accounts to sit on
I would definitely rather have that as an opt in system like NSFW content than Reddit’s cryptic karma requirements.
