Posting this because no one else seems to want to, and it’s a discussion worth having outside of drama or personal conflicts. I’m undecided and can see both sides, but it’s important to address.

Potential benefits of a limit:

  • Frequent posters hold significant influence and could, in theory, push misinformation or propaganda (though I haven’t seen evidence of this it’s a fair concern).
  • A community dominated by one or two voices might discourage new members from participating.
  • Encouraging quality over quantity could increase the value of individual posts.

Potential downsides of a limit:

  • Could reduce overall community engagement.
  • If set too low, it might discourage meaningful participation from well-intentioned members.
  • It could inadvertently encourage the (mis)use of alt accounts.

These are some pros/cons but certainly not all! I encourage more discussion below.

      That’s because your instance didn’t ban them.

      I feel bad for them whenever they pop out of containment again but I really enjoyed their erotic friend fiction they would write.

        Good! It appears that most instances didn’t ban him/her. So you all didn’t do anything to dissuade him and he probably posts more than ever under alt names and instances. lol

        Seems you all fed the troll. And he probably loves that you are still talking about him.

            “Most” instances didn’t though. Not only that, it takes a few seconds to create an alt username. So he/she probably didn’t stop posting in here at all.

              No, probably not.

              The admins at world and most of the other large instances usually ban their alts pretty quick though which is probably good for UM’s mental health.

                Looks like he’s on almost 30 instances though. And new ones being made every day. He appears just as busy as ever.

                    Meh, guesstimating. I don’t know the actual amount. I did a quick search and it was just a fucking page full of his name on different instances. I didn’t really care enought to do an actual count. Do you know the actual count?
