So, uhm, what the hell is going on with all these ad posts I’m seeing in this community?

    This can also be very unwelcoming to new users though.

    For like the first week of posting…

    Then it’s never an issue again.

    But it’s hard for trolls and bots to build that up for every account.

    Theres been more than a few that just keep making new accounts on small instances the second they’re banned

      It is an issue if you change instance, which you may do more often than creating new accounts on traditional social media. And again, I just find it kind of unwelcoming.

      Maybe automatically creating a report to just check the post for spam when a new user posts would be nice? Then a mod can check it out but it’s not removed automatically or blocked.

        It is an issue if you change instance

        Again, only for like a week…

        There’s no valid reason to keep constantly churning accounts.

          There is if you wish to change instance, for example if your admins do something you don’t like. That’s a perfectly valid reason.

          We can disagree, it’s okay. You don’t have to downvote just because you disagree.

              nothing you’re saying is contributing to a meaningful discussion

              The difference between them and you is that they are indeed contributing to the discussion and attempting to propose solutions on how to handle the situation. You, on the other hand, seem hellbent on enforcing your point of view without the slightest willingness or empathy to consider the issue from their perspective.
