@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.

How about just make it impossible to mod/create more than 3?

I actually like this idea. The prevention of supermods like AwkwardtheTurtle is absolutely something that should be considered.

When people previously discussed this on Lemmy, the concern would be that bad actors would create multiple accounts to get around that rule.

But again, the lock on a door doesn't guarantee your house won't get broken into, it only has to deter them with extra effort/risk that they will be less likely to do it.

I honestly can't imagine modding more than 2 communities at once. Do these people not have real lives?

Of course, like I said, it doesn't need to keep out everyone, just preventing the lowest effort trolls would make life a lot easier for the mods/admins.

Don't let perfection stand in the way of progress.
