Following News, I made a change to the “no trolling” rule in Politics and World (rule 4 for Politics, 5 for World)

“Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.”

      A lot of people are complaining about Dot, but their total time online is only about 33 minutes a day.

      To put it in perspective, that’s 4 minutes more than me… So not exactly super human. ;)

        That means about two minutes per post?

        Is it possible to have a rate limiter on posts? So it’s not just a flood from one person all at once? 2-5 minutes feels about right, but I mostly just lurk. (This might not be possible, or even desired by the mod team, I’m trying to think of ways to make your job easier)

          Not built in to the lemmy software. I did talk to the Admins about it and the feeling is doing something with Automod, but that’s beyond my personal ability to implement.

          Reddit has it based on age of account, karma, and if you subscribe to the subreddit or not.

          Then you get the “You are doing that too much, try again later.”

        Sorry to jump in on an unrelated thread; that last reply you made to me (about your tally) is under a post that has now been deleted. You mentioned you’re gonna make a final tally and a mega thread on election day; will those be in politics@lemmy.world?

        Just confirming here, since I don’t wanna touch the ghost reply in my inbox, since lemmy doesn’t seem to like that situation very much
