@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.
How about just make it impossible to mod/create more than 3?
There are many communities of my interest that didn’t exist. So in my case having only 3 would really cripple me
Because they didn’t exist, again. I had to create, for example, a Need for Speed community as it didn’t exist.
Thirded. Canada is having political issues because the same 5 mods are infesting almost every sub. Limits are needed.
I actually like this idea. The prevention of supermods like AwkwardtheTurtle is absolutely something that should be considered.
When people previously discussed this on Lemmy, the concern would be that bad actors would create multiple accounts to get around that rule.
But again, the lock on a door doesn’t guarantee your house won’t get broken into, it only has to deter them with extra effort/risk that they will be less likely to do it.
I honestly can’t imagine modding more than 2 communities at once. Do these people not have real lives?
Bad idea.
I’m making a bunch of communities myself, but mostly to see which communities stick or don’t stick. 3 is too low a number. Like ~10 or ~20 is probably reasonable.
Not that I plan to truly own 20 communities. But I probably need to create 20 communities just to find 2 good communities with enough followers.
That being said, power-modders probably need to be automatically culled. There are a bunch of people coming in, not making a single post at all and then creating 30, 40, 50+ communities. You can tell if someone is truly dedicated because they’ll make at least 2 or 3 posts as a “welcome” post, or non-default sidebars (etc. etc.).
