• That’s not gonna stop them. They can arbitrarily make as many accounts as they need to do it, and just bounce from account to account one comment at a time if necessary.

    Most people have at least a few alts on other instances simply by virtue of instance shopping. Meaning most people already can evade bans.

    It’s just a bad, broken system.

      A bad and broken system isn’t an excuse for doing nothing about a problem.

      Defederation is the best option available.

      Much better than requiring individuals to block toxic instances.

          People who don’t have skin in the game often like to point out the facts, or play devil’s advocate.

              Once again your interest in the subject has nothing to do with the subject themselves and everything to do with you. It’s not about what’s best for the community but what is interesting and relevant to you.

      That’s not gonna stop them. They can arbitrarily make as many accounts as they need to do it, and just bounce from account to account one comment at a time if necessary.

      There’s a finite number of servers though that they can create accounts on.

      The admins of those servers would notice someone spamming account creations just to make comments and bypass bans.

      What you’re describing is not a federation issue, it’s a server admin issue.
