Please could you add a toggle to filter out posts by new accounts? My feed often contains low-effort links to news articles, always posted by new accounts. I've filtered out the users, but they just get new accounts on other instances to continue.
Please comment if you'd also like this feature added!
(Edited to add screenshots of new accounts, and my blocklist containing another low effort user)
Looks like @rimu@piefed.social / @rimu@lemmy.world has also had enough of such accounts and implemented auto-delete: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22241904
Maybe the better solution is just to change your sorting method? Maybe "New Comments" would be good here, or "Active"
Same two people that i block every day. Iโm on voyager and piefed though.
Not sure if this is a productive solution.
You'd just end up with the exact same posts, but now coming from accounts that are x days/weeks/months old.
Don't get me wrong, spam and low effort are absolutely an issue, but I'm not sure how this would fix it.
I use a client that has this feature, and it's nice. Would definitely recommend it.
Decent idea, Clay. ๐
