    Just email verification. A troll can make a throwaway email, verify it, and they’re in.

      And not only on lemmy.world, they can make a troll account wherever they want

        Heck, a troll could spin up their own Lemmy instance.

          Very true. But they could defederate that too. I have tried to set up an instance of Lemmy andkbin and it’s not the easiest.

          One user mentioned that they racked up 2 gb of data in 2 minutes of use. I’d imagine the overhead for maintaining an instance is huge over time

            All Lemmy instances would have to defederate from the troll instance to truly contain it, no? As for overhead, some trolls rove in packs. But still you do make a good point for the lone troll 👍

              And you’re right about everyone degenerating from the one troll. Hope it doesn’t happen but it’s good to know we have admins and mods who care
