Posting this because no one else seems to want to, and it’s a discussion worth having outside of drama or personal conflicts. I’m undecided and can see both sides, but it’s important to address.
Potential benefits of a limit:
- Frequent posters hold significant influence and could, in theory, push misinformation or propaganda (though I haven’t seen evidence of this it’s a fair concern).
- A community dominated by one or two voices might discourage new members from participating.
- Encouraging quality over quantity could increase the value of individual posts.
Potential downsides of a limit:
- Could reduce overall community engagement.
- If set too low, it might discourage meaningful participation from well-intentioned members.
- It could inadvertently encourage the (mis)use of alt accounts.
These are some pros/cons but certainly not all! I encourage more discussion below.
I’m not sure but last time they popped up they were ranting about other people impersonating them so maybe they aren’t all theirs?
Or maybe they got back into the drugs again and just are paranoid and forgetful.
I don’t know and I don’t judge.
I don’t know. I didn’t look that deeply into it. I just see that you guys talk about him a lot.
I think many of us on Lemmy pity them and I think that’s why they come up in conversation.
Ahhh, ok. Sure. Well, I’m sure they laugh about it a lot since they are mentioned a lot. If they are the troll you all say they are, then you all seem to be feeding them a lot.
It must be odd being caged off from the rest of Lemmy and just looking in and seeing people talk about them.
I’m not sure that’s exactly feeding trolls though.
But they’re not caged off. They are posting all over. And if they have all the alts many believe they do, then they are even on instances that “banned” them. lol
Getting a comment or two off before getting that alt banned isn’t doing too much.
But if you don’t know who his alts are, how can you say that?
Did I ever say I don’t know which alts are theirs?
