So what can we do to combat this Spam posting as a community? Anyone have any ideas?

    It’s a shitty situation that’s causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it’s sorted.

    Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it’s under control… But even then it’ll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through

      I agree. Its a systemic issue. I‘ve stepped up as a mod for [email protected] to combat this. Feel free to step up in other communities to help meanwhile.

      The solution will probably be reputation/timelimit based or maybe federating ip bans. Bans already federate I think. At least my instance has a ton of names on the banlist although I havent banned as many people.

        Any reason why there is no tools for allowing a community to say restrict first post(s) to text only until they get a # of positive likes? Or ability to allow communities to require 1 comment on a specific topic until can post own?
