I’m seeing a lot of users on my preferred instance with <1yr old accounts, that have thousands of posts and comments. Whether these accounts are people with nothing better to do than post mindlessly 24/7, or are bots pushing some narrative, it doesn’t make a difference, I’d rather not see what they’re posting, because chances are, it’s hogwash. It would be nice to be able to filter out these highly active accounts, based on a set variable of max posts per day, and/or comments per day. Any account that exceeds that variable is filtered out, and any account below it is allowed.
Does anyone have insight on whether or not this sort of filtering is possible to achieve on Lemmy? Is anyone else interested in having this sort of functionality?
Edit: I’m not trying to throw shade on active users. I appreciate active users. I’m looking to block users with AI image generated profile photos and have on average 10+ posts per day and 20+ comments per day. Those accounts seem suspicious to me.
That’s just keeping me in good practice, though.
Fair point. I see that as a potential silver lining in this whole Kremlin disinformation era. At least some people will see it for what it is and learn.
I’m 99.9999999999% sure that far fewer of those accounts are propaganda than you realize but you just don’t want to hear what they’re pushing because it threatens your world view.
A month old thread and your post gets 9 upvotes in a day. Fuck off.
Very on-brand for you.
Уважаемый лидер Путин прописывает вам литр водки перед первым приемом пищи.
And it is the responsibility of those of us who do see the propaganda to call it out for what it is, so that passers-by who may not see it so clearly can learn from our experience.
Absolutely.
The dictator alliance (Kremlin, CCP, Pyongyang, Tehran) are using our open societies and free speech against us. We need to use it against them too.
