Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?
Sorry for being a new user I guess 🙄
Worst case is you’re essentially invisible for a week. I’ve had plenty of platforms have a waiting period to join so not a huge issue. Also easy for bots to bypass by making a bunch of accounts to sit on
I would definitely rather have that as an opt in system like NSFW content than Reddit’s cryptic karma requirements.
I want to see your comments, but not your posts until there’s some bare evidence you’re not a spammer.
Hah. Lemmyverse peoples are all about censorship. “How can I filter this” “How can I censor that” “Let’s defederate from this and that instance” Etc.
The whole point is that everyone can do their own censorship, instead of one person doing it for everyone.
Nobody wants to see everything.
Indeed! It's almost like people got fed up of their internet experience being a flaming pile of garbage.
Because the fediverse lets you control the content you federate with, it should be considered more of a choice than censorship… The problem is that some users think that their preference should also be applied to everyone else in the whole fediverse.
I’m sure it could be implemented. It would be really cool to have a heavily configurable client with these sorts of niche features. I imagine nobody has done it yet though
A shared or importable block list would be nice.

I could see that being a feature on some kind of Lemmy mobile client. Voyager for example shows how old an account is if it’s under a certain age. I think it might be a month. Maybe any post or comments that display this could be filtered from your feed.
Not sure though. I really don’t know how additional features like that idea I just mentioned are typically added to the desktop experience of an instance.

If 3PAs started doing that, the Lemmy devs would probably consider that “censorship” and remove the account age from the API calls. 🙄

Why would they go in that direction when they’ve been working towards better moderation tools?

how annoying

Omg is that why I keep seeing comments with baby faces and a timer next to them?

That would be why
