This should help us cut down on the trolls. We recommend other instances do the same, because they will likely be targeted also.

I apologize for all their gore-posts as well, no one should have to see that. We'll try to look for more admins from different time-zones as well to get them faster.

The two other possibilities we have currently as options, are turning on required email verification, and as a last resort, closing signups. I personally would rather not do either, but they are options.

Many thanks to @k_o_t@lemmy.ml and @AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml for banning those trolls.

So wait? Does this effectively make lemmy more private of a forum then?

I think we need a new permission-level that allows a user to delete comments and ban other non-admin users, so we can have more "site-mods", without substantially increasing risk of someone doing something undesirable with their power.
Maybe admins need "superuser" status to see / edit the site-config?

I downvoted and reported as many posts as I can, I don’t know how much that helped but it was good to check back a couple hours later and see that the trolls’ posts had been removed

just letting you know your comment doubled.

Unless you can get everyone else on your shared instance list to do the same this is pointless. Look I just made this user on another instance that required email verification. I used a temp email service and am able to post what ever I want here.

You should instead have a period the user has to wait before posting so that you can have a night sleep without worrying about trolls flooding your site.

If other lemmy sites doesn't do the same, we should not federate with them.

Blame the jews

The account registration UX is bad enough, why make it worse?

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 1 points 3 years ago

Would be nice to hear why you think it's bad and how to improve it. Could you open an issue on the tracker?

How many admins do y'all have? I'd be lying if I said I agreed with y'all's moderation stances, but I'm surprised at how slow action to some of the posts, users, and communities is

[–] hitlerslist@fapsi.be 0 points 3 years ago

Your instance has some trolls too. I see a hitler posted there https://narwhal.city/posts/8200
