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.

    Ahhh, ok. Sure. Well, I’m sure they laugh about it a lot since they are mentioned a lot. If they are the troll you all say they are, then you all seem to be feeding them a lot.

      It must be odd being caged off from the rest of Lemmy and just looking in and seeing people talk about them.

      I’m not sure that’s exactly feeding trolls though.

        But they’re not caged off. They are posting all over. And if they have all the alts many believe they do, then they are even on instances that “banned” them. lol

            But if you don’t know who his alts are, how can you say that?

                  It’s pretty easy to go back on my comments and see if I ever said that though.

                  I know you’ve only been here for ten days so if you click on my name you can see my post history or in this case you can scroll up the thread to review what we’ve talked about.
