Post inspired by the bot threat that people on Lemmy have been talking about. I’m not asking how an expert would design it, but how you would design it if you were tasked with it.

    I like the first two ideas but a problem with the third is most lemmy users are gonna be techies who probably use a VPN which means they’ll have to cycle through a few nodes before getting one that works (if they even realize that’s where the problem lies)

      VPN endpoints would not necessarily have low IP reputation. A VPN provider that allows its users to spam the internet is probably not a good one anyway. And besides, that would not inhibit registration, it would just make users fill out a form to apply so the server operator would have to go through and approve it.
