Is there a way AskLemmy and other major communities could prevent new users from making posts in the future?

Like an account has to be over a month old to post for example. Maybe that could help prevent these kinds of disgusting attacks

I don't know if Lemmy has a moderator tool available that could do something like that though.

Maybe. Some discussion going on at the moment about how to handle it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Understood. Is that an option for moderators though?

Like I said I don't know if Lemmy gives you that option or if you'd need to setup some kind of bot or an instance level option.

That would need to be a bot. The problem is that the spammer would just move on to the next community (which they have just done by moving to [email protected] I just put a tool up that automatically notifies a bunch of admins, mods and community team members when a post get's reported more than 3 times, so please report the posts if you see them.

That's smart. Glad to hear something like that exists
