deleted by creator

…yeah. I added a filter in Tesseract to automatically hide “drive-by” posts for accounts that are less than a week old who self-delete themselves. Can’t stand that.

Not that that isn’t good advice to make mods’ lives easier in general, but for the ban evader I think you’re talking about, it’s usually pretty apparent if you look at the profile of the user being reported:

1. Minutes old, 10+ posts and no comments or maybe 1 boilerplate-looking one.
2. Usually cycles through c/Politics, c/News, c/Health, c/UK, c/Ohio, c/Television and a few others
3. Here lately, spams out 10+ posts rapid-fire and then deletes the account (not all UIs indicate a user is deleted, but that info is often helpful).

Granted, I’m really good at pattern matching. It’s like my one neurodivergent superpower lol.

Ok, I just gotta ask: what is your motive here?

You get banned every other day for spamming out a massive number of posts. And you just make a new account the next day, start the exact same thing again like…you’ve learned nothing?

I’m tired of my feed being an entire page of just you, and I’m tired of blocking you. Can you not just post things at a normal rate?

Email on your own domain: Yep, super easy.

Email from home IP or from the IPv4 you get assigned with a VPS: Super difficult

To be fair, it began with the misstep of his senate confirmation.

Lemmy’s API doesn’t have a direct way to do that, unfortunately.

Tesseract (web-based lemmy app) used to have that before I took it out. After the ranking metrics were removed from the API, it was hard to sort them other than by new/old or by score. When you have a mix of active and inactive communities, it didn’t work great without the ranking metrics being there.

You can still group communities, but only for organizing them or (in the dev branch/next version) applying filter policies to communities in that group.

I may revisit the idea if I can figure out a better way to generate/sort the custom feeds.

If we really want to make sure that never happens again, that award should be $314.6m each.

Appreciate it!

The crackdown came after California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, filed an emergency request to block the Trump administration from using military forces to accompany Ice officers on raids throughout LA.

It could also be said that this is to protect them against military forces while that is being worked out. Lesser of two evils and all that. Better to be arrested locally than shot :shrug:
