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?
If 3PAs started doing that, the Lemmy devs would probably consider that “censorship” and remove the account age from the API calls. 🙄
Why would they go in that direction when they’ve been working towards better moderation tools?
They’ve already removed karma from profiles, which is quite useful as a first indication if you want to ban trolls. They didn’t remove it to make moderation harder or anything, but they do have opinions on how the information exposed should be used and there’s a possibility that they’ll disagree with this approach too.
Reddit refugee here. Was karma (or its equivalent) ever built in for it to have been removed? I thought it was an active decision not to put it in in the first place. That’s a subtle but important difference IMO.
how annoying
