In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Well, title says it clear. We might need some condition to prevent trolls from creating a lot of accounts and taking over whole instance. I'd like to discuss ideas for this. Like, amount of days on instance could work, but I'm not sure if it would work out very well. Anyway, please share your opinions on this whole subject.

EDIT: There's a lot of opinions, but, at least for me, looks like whatever system we'll come up with, it will either be based on time from account creation or on activity(or maybe both). Correct me if i wrong.

There are a few ideas with varying levels of reasonability and freedom. Nothing will be perfect though.

We could have timed verification, “karma” limits, both, lock it behind an application, allow al but be very pre-emptive in our moderation taking a ban-first stance, randomly checking voters history, only select participants, or only community mods.

I'd prefer the karma and time gates, but application only could work more effectively if we had more moderators.

correct me if I'm wrong as a noob, but all I can see are numbers of posts, not "karma" which depends on up votes?

That's correct, Lemmy doesn't publicly track "karma"

On Kbin I can see a profile's "Reputation". Yours is apparently at -18 currently, the person you replied to at -1.

Not sure if that's the same thing as "Karma" though.
