The influx of new users here has also encouraged a lot of unsavory denizens to relocate here as well.

I've already been harassed by a user and I am seeing a few trolls here and there posting with impunity and provoking users. We need better moderation or else shit will go downhill very fast here.

It'd also be great to block all the shitposting subs. Beans are great and all but I'd like some actual content. Maybe we should reconsider karma. At least give people an incentive to contribute good content.

Unfortunately, it motivated people to post content that would be upvoted, which, given the state of popular posts on Reddit over the last year or so on Reddit, has become very different from "good" by which I take you to mean "valuable".

Give time for the dust to settle, and the shitposts and memes should congregate to a few communities, which can be filtered from our feeds if desired.

It seems (given the beans) that the newly enlarged user base is in the "spaghetti against the wall" phase of posting, just trying to see what sticks.

This to shall pass.

You can't block beans!

You can block stuff you don't like. Memes and rage bait go first. Sub to content you like. Lots of good discussions I'm seeing off main subs. Heck even main subs are "fresher." Maybe change instances to one that already defederates stuff you don't like by default.
