My biggest fear is always bots and astroturfing. We need some tools or methods that will reliably stop this. And we need it to be implemented ASAP. I honestly wouldn’t mind paying $1 a month for this, or some kind of rolling human tests to continue posting and commenting. PLEASE
100% this, bots and astroturfing was the reason I stayed off of Reddit after the blackout. I love how Lemmy feels, populated with real people, who reply thoughtfully. I very much hope some kind of anti-bot measures can be taken to help keep it this way.

I think there should be a middleware layer for posts and comments, where you can write a number of custom routines.
func onNewPost( (user, post, commitFn, rejectFn) => { if( user.karma < 100) {rejectFn("Not enough karma to post here.")} if( post.length < 100) {rejectFn("Post is too short.")} commitFn(user, post); });
