account age requirement and comment requirement before posting
This can also be very unwelcoming to new users though. Reddit often feels like a closed place because so many subs have karma requirements. I’d prefer we didn’t go there.
We should rather stop allowing sign ups without an application. The captchas are not good enough.
An application doesn’t have to be an essay. Feddit.dk has an application that literally just requires a sentence or two. It’s really not a big barrier to entry.
It is an issue if you change instance, which you may do more often than creating new accounts on traditional social media. And again, I just find it kind of unwelcoming.
Maybe automatically creating a report to just check the post for spam when a new user posts would be nice? Then a mod can check it out but it’s not removed automatically or blocked.
nothing you’re saying is contributing to a meaningful discussion
The difference between them and you is that they are indeed contributing to the discussion and attempting to propose solutions on how to handle the situation. You, on the other hand, seem hellbent on enforcing your point of view without the slightest willingness or empathy to consider the issue from their perspective.

If you think that’s unwelcoming, applications are even more so. Most people don’t want to fill out an essay just to be allowed to participate.
If I had to fill out an application, I wouldn’t be here, and I’m sure a lot of others wouldn’t be either.
That’s not to say that better methods shouldn’t be implemented though.

I agree here. Filling out an application would have easily kept me out. Many may see that as a good thing though :)
Then you don’t get any new people at all. (Or very few)
For like the first week of posting…
Then it’s never an issue again.
But it’s hard for trolls and bots to build that up for every account.
Theres been more than a few that just keep making new accounts on small instances the second they’re banned

There’s no valid reason to keep constantly churning accounts.
There is if you wish to change instance, for example if your admins do something you don’t like. That’s a perfectly valid reason.
We can disagree, it’s okay. You don’t have to downvote just because you disagree.
