Perhaps this is already implemented on one of the Lemmy variants?

New features :

  • auto closing/suspending stale communities
    • stale could be defined as unanswered mod reports, no mod activity (no post, comment, login in x time period), no posts
  • staggered new account permissions:
    • wait 24h before commenting, wait 7 days before posting.
  • allow community users to flag posts or comments as NSFW.
    • Voting changes from up, down to up, down or NSFW.)

Curious what people think about this?

Could limiting new users maybe help against bot spamming?

Maybe slightly? But not worth turning away potential new users. We need more users.

Bots and spammers would just create accounts in advance and let them sit to get to the right age, it'd be the same.

Yes, but it would tank the user retention rate.
