“Bad guys have guns. Why shouldn’t decent people have guns”
Americans don’t seem to understand that the world isn’t divided between “the bad guys” and “the decent people”.
Many of the “bad guys” with guns actually were decent people with guns. Then they forgot to take their meds or experienced road rage.
That brand new accounts coming here to stir shit up should be banned. Actually I’m pretty sure everyone here thinks that.
With how easy it is for banned accounts to just make a new one somewhere, there really needs to be some kind of account age limiter. As far as I know it’s not an option on any instance.
So then you just make a bunch of accounts at once and wait until they can post. 🤷♂️
Age limit prevents bot spam; it is not going to stop trolling or astroturfing.
I’ve learned that any bar for entry significantly cuts down on spam. Turns out people are lazy and reactionary. Some may do that, but it’s very few compared to those who want to troll right now.
Same thing with basic things like asking a question at sign up, or email verification. The most basic sign up things block 95% of spam
