On Reddit, many subreddits have configurable requirements like minimum account age and karma before users are allowed to post or comment.
If a user doesn’t meet the criteria, they receive an automatic message like:
Your post/comment has been removed as your account does not meet the karma and/or age requirements of this sub.
Your account must be older than _____ days and have more than ________ combined karma to post here.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
Do you think Lemmy should consider adding similar options for community moderators — such as requiring a minimum amount of local or federated karma, and/or minimum account age — before a user can post or comment in a community?
Would this help reduce spam or low-effort posts, or would it go against the spirit of open discussion that Lemmy encourages?
If he expect to be exactly the same as reddit thrn he should be fine with mass downvotes
Downvotes don’t matter as much here anyways since you can get high quality content by sorting from new and muting some communities + instances. That’s not true of reddit’s garbage pile.
I’d like a sort by the most up + down votes total so I can see what made someone angry enough to bot or brigade at one time or another
