I want to message people but it says that I don’t have enough reputation.

        ohh, I can’t see their instance on voyager unless I click on their profile. curious, this is the second policy I’ve seen piefed borrow from post-2023 reddit. is that kind of their goal?

          The goal, which is already achieved, is to create a better experience than Lemmy offers and with none of the support for genocide denial.

          Or do you want users to be able to make new accounts/bots to spam PM’s? I honestly see zero benefit to not blocking PM’s until they post a bit.

            it’s valid in its intent, having my run in with the people you’re describing sucked. I just saw karma checks taken to some pretty ugly places on reddit before I ghosted out of there. In my encounters with genocide deniers here, the problematic aspect I saw was a mod team interfering with the comments and deleting responses. r/conservative on reddit does the same thing to keep their userbase trimmed down to only the most vocal and loyal christofascists.

            I kind of want to be on a website where people with admin priveledges are being held at least a little more accountable than regular users. but that’s probably just my damage talking. I can pretty assuredly say that actually real botting on fediverse is pretty inadequate since every user has to be manually approved and write a cover letter for many instances. the hoards of genocide deniers you see are probably actual living CCP citizens engaging in a documented cultural passtime
