Lemmy’s design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

    Good moderation eliminates trolls pretty quickly. Admins are incentivized to respond to users’ concerns rather than a profit motive. Some communities do have a minimum account age for certain actions, and some instances require a real email address and IP address to join/participate.

    Trolls are bots are rare on Lemmy. They are the norm on reddit.

      The traffic on Reddit is massive for highly populated subreddits. And these subreddits that restrict low karma account activities aren’t doing it for any profit motive.

      I understand Lemmy isn’t really big enough for this to be a concern here.

        If/when it does get big enough, what would be a good solution? It would be possible to do the same as Reddit
