  • I don’t see how you could prematurely know about spammers or trolls until someone reports them.

    I don’t think you can. My suggestion was more focused on how admins make decisions after a report. Right now they have to do a manual scan of the person’s comment history and that is the part I find inefficient. If it was possible to just show extra high level information on the user it might make it easier for the admin to make a decision.

    We don’t plan on adding any text-analyzing AI or anything like that into lemmy’s codebase.

    Yeah using AI to try and analyze comments would be overkill and probably prone to manipulation anyways.

    Edit: I’m sorta talking more specifically towards banning a user or seeing if what a user is doing is a repeated pattern.



  • Well I am not 100% sure on what the best method would be.

    I think the addition of letting moderators see who is voting on what posts is a nice addition since they would tend to be closer to where the content is.

    More generally I was thinking about creating a dashboard that gave the admins statistics about that user.

    Similar to how we as users can see how many comments and posts any user makes, it might be useful to allow admins to see statistics about which communities the user interacts with or some rudimentary similarity score with other users?

    These are some ideas I thought of on the fly and have not thought about the implications but the gist is something that allows the admins to get a better understanding of what is going on from like a bird eye’s view.

    Edit: and where -> on what posts



  • There are different software that could help this happen but I’m not sure how they’d handle all of lemmy’s content

    There is Gun.js and OrbitDB (OrbitDB runs on IPFS using Helia)

    and there is FreeNet which allows hosting of freesites on their network if you have something downloaded to your computer.

    Some of the problems could be mitigated by volunteers running relay nodes hosting the kind of content they want to stay up (this would work with Gun.js and OrbitDB since it allows subscribing to specific data) or just general relay nodes that gives the network more capacity (this would be the method if you are working with FreeNet)

    Again not sure how easy or hard this would be so I hope the developers share their thoughts.

    Edit: When I say relay nodes hosting I don’t mean they have control over the data but instead keeps the data online. The data is still stored on the users own device and is shared between users if both are online at the same time.
