New anti-bot rules - Lemmy.World

Hi everyone, I think it has become clear that many bot accounts are swarming the communities. Sometimes we can’t be sure whether a specific account is a bot, but there are some clues. I will not post the clues here since they could be used by bot creators to bypass the rules. Lemmy (the software) currently doesn’t have tools to automate moderation, so everything has to be moderated manually. That said, I will be adding a few anti-bot rules to the /c/comicstrips community: * A limit of two posts per person per day. * Bots are not allowed. There will be heavy moderation of suspected bot accounts. If an account is identified as a bot, its posts will be deleted and it will receive a permanent ban. And thank you to everyone in the community who reports possible spammers and bots. It helps a lot. Here is the previous post that I fixed before, which contains a few discussions about this subject: https://lemmy.world/post/42127013 [https://lemmy.world/post/42127013] Do you have any comments or suggestions? I’m listening. (This is not the future that Asimov expected.)
