I assisted admins, caught and got banned over the past week a user noobda, who created accounts noobde, noobdaREBRN and now noobrao.
A few hours later now, I see 3-4 downvotes on every single comment of mine in the past week, and have gotten repeated death threats in PMs, likely by this very person.
Is an IP address or IP range ban a good solution, that admins should consider implementing besides report option?
I feel incredibly harassed here at Lemmy, though nothing common, where reddit users have abuse reported me to seek suicide prevention helpline, among many things.

Voat has that system of building up credit before your votes count. I heard someone say it helped create an echo chamber, but I wouldn’t know because I stopped visiting pretty quickly. Worth looking at as a case study though.

Five times seems low. Every troll or such user I have observed has commented 7-10 comments before snapping up on people.
I agree though, one other user suggested this. It should work well. Even Discord has bits that assign you a level of participation. With Level 5, you get ability to post media, as example. Really good.
