So, uhm, what the hell is going on with all these ad posts I’m seeing in this community?
Bots and lack of mods on different timezones most likely.
Would probably make sense to have an account age requirement and comment requirement before posting somehow.

This can also be very unwelcoming to new users though. Reddit often feels like a closed place because so many subs have karma requirements. I’d prefer we didn’t go there.
We should rather stop allowing sign ups without an application. The captchas are not good enough.

For like the first week of posting…
Then it’s never an issue again.
But it’s hard for trolls and bots to build that up for every account.
Theres been more than a few that just keep making new accounts on small instances the second they’re banned
It is an issue if you change instance, which you may do more often than creating new accounts on traditional social media. And again, I just find it kind of unwelcoming.
Maybe automatically creating a report to just check the post for spam when a new user posts would be nice? Then a mod can check it out but it’s not removed automatically or blocked.

There’s no valid reason to keep constantly churning accounts.
No idea, but I notice it too
Just blocked and reported an account and the single shill-post it produced. Not sure what to do about it, maybe we need more mods
