This should help us cut down on the trolls. We recommend other instances do the same, because they will likely be targeted also.
I apologize for all their gore-posts as well, no one should have to see that. We’ll try to look for more admins from different time-zones as well to get them faster.
The two other possibilities we have currently as options, are turning on required email verification, and as a last resort, closing signups. I personally would rather not do either, but they are options.
Many thanks to @k_o_t@lemmy.ml and @AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml for banning those trolls.
I think we need a new permission-level that allows a user to delete comments and ban other non-admin users, so we can have more “site-mods”, without substantially increasing risk of someone doing something undesirable with their power.
Maybe admins need “superuser” status to see / edit the site-config?
