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.

    Oh okay, everything about you (from the propagandistic posting patterns to running heavy defense of Monk who you should know nothing about as < 2-week-old accounts to your long, copy-pasted, Gish galloping comments to the abject nonsense you spew to your general writing style) tells me you and barrygoldwater are just ban evasion alts of Monk. In that case, piss off.

    How did you see “MUCH worse now than back then” when your account is 11 days old? Riddle me that.

      I purge my accounts and come up with a new username every couple of months. feel free to go to c/privacy to find out why that’s a good idea on lemmy. no ban evasion as I have never been banned under this username or any other. I don’t know what gish galloping is
