Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What about putting a delay on the beginning activity of an account? Maybe a 2-4 hour timer on new accounts where their new posts are only available to certain users. Once the account has matured, the restrictions can be lifted.
I think the admins have a lot of ways to approach it, the question is the applicability to the problem, which can quickly change as bots adjust their approach, whether it will affect regular users negatively, and how it herds scripts into patterns that are immediately recognizable when it doesn't fully work.
Fair, and I was considering that. This could be reviewed with heuristics and instead of instant bans, apply a review. If the admins don't respond, then it's not addressed.
That would be a fun way to implement a quarantine... Posts and comments by new users are only available to other new users. 😉
Kind of like the "Hide Bots" toggle. "Hide New Users".
As far as THEY know, they're active participants.
