I’m seeing a lot of users on my preferred instance with <1yr old accounts, that have thousands of posts and comments. Whether these accounts are people with nothing better to do than post mindlessly 24/7, or are bots pushing some narrative, it doesn’t make a difference, I’d rather not see what they’re posting, because chances are, it’s hogwash. It would be nice to be able to filter out these highly active accounts, based on a set variable of max posts per day, and/or comments per day. Any account that exceeds that variable is filtered out, and any account below it is allowed.
Does anyone have insight on whether or not this sort of filtering is possible to achieve on Lemmy? Is anyone else interested in having this sort of functionality?
Edit: I’m not trying to throw shade on active users. I appreciate active users. I’m looking to block users with AI image generated profile photos and have on average 10+ posts per day and 20+ comments per day. Those accounts seem suspicious to me.
I don’t want to call anyone out individually. But I have come across accounts with 7-8k comments in the span of a few months. I don’t really think it’s worth reporting them, and don’t have the time or energy to research and block them individually, I’d just rather have them automatically muted on my end via a tool or plugin.
I assumed this would be something I’d have to program myself, just wasn’t sure if it was clearly not possible or practical for one reason or another.
If you’re going to remove 90% of the content on lemmy, is there even a point staying on it?
