No
Personally, I would prefer if this kind of function happened at the feed curration level instead of the posting level.
If I could adjust a “User post concentration” setting, I’d say it to down-weight posts by any user within 12 hours of their last post by 50%, and stack this for further posts within 12 hours.
Then I’d adjust the timing and weighing as necessary
Maybe just for one user in particular…
I only have one user blocked on Lemmy, and I think it’s who you’re referring to.
No. More posts create more conversations, no matter how stupid they may be. Just skip the ones that don’t interest you.
“more posts create more conversations” has a logical end point, where the sheer volume means more time is spent skipping over uninteresting questions than time spent on answering the interesting ones. At that point, people with answers would rather spend their time elsewhere.
Curation is moderation by another name, and it is hard at scale. The solutions that work for communities with a hundred followers will not work for communities like this one with 49,000 (!) subscribers.
And I suggest we come back to this when Lemmy is at risk of having too much content.
Yeah because when a place not only lacks content, but on top of that most of it is shitty spam, it makes people want to engage a lot more, right?
3 per 12h.
Anyone spamming more than that can create their own, “spam stupid questions” community.
Yes. It would help prevent spammers and bots.
Wouldn’t spammers and bots just make multiple accounts, making the rule work only against normal people?
There should be 5 posts per day per user be default for Lemmy as a whole. It’s really irritating when my feed is back to back garbage from anyone, not or otherwise. Some people need to touch grass
that would destroy new content on the fediverse.
like 2% of the users here are posting 90% of the posts.
to some degree I would like that with everyone everyplace.
Don isn’t that annoying.
No. I just block the folks who spam and ask stupid stuff.
Would people like a “X posts per Y” rate limit per user for this community?
No, people would not. It could be a tool for moderators to curb spamming but I don’t see that being more effective than existing moderation tools.
i dont understand the question
World you like to have a timeout between questions in this specific community?
