On the EH vote I saw at least 10 accounts with 0 other posts and comments so probably not a bad idea to have at least a condition where the account needs to be older than the vote and has previous activity

MODERATORS
I'd like lurkers to be able to vote so long as they meet a timescale. It could be like 2 months since account creation for lurkers, or 2 weeks + a certain post/comment threshold for more active participants of the instance.
Some sort of restriction where the profile must have been active commenting or posting ~~another~~ on other communities might be a good start.
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.
God damn, lol
Downvote = -1
Upvote = 0
Boost = +1
That's how it works
Oh wow, I had at least two of my comments boosted (~= retweeted)?
I wish I knew the best solution. I think having a captcha for signups would help lower the amount as well as an activated email address, though that's relatively easy to game. I don't really know if having a minimum account age would help a lot though, but it probably would. Having a minimum karma is useful on the old site, but I don't think that's accessible here.
Don't know if this carries over to Lemmy, but on Kbin I can see a "Reputation" score on profiles.
I wasn't been able to see a reputation score when I looked at my profile, just the number of posts and comments. That may be easier to see on the site admin side IDK. I guess a combined post/comment score could be used as a way to avoid people using inactive accounts over the minimum account age to vote, but it's not an ideal solution IMO.
All I can say is Kbin shows it in your profile (on mobile you need to scroll right to see the tab, but it's there). You seem to currently be at +6.
