Interesting. Does “mongoloid” on its own mean someone of low intelligence? We have mongoloide in Brazil with that meaning. More often used as a way to call a friend silly instead of an actual insult, but can be used as one too.

I feel the lack of (public?) karma will at least help with the repost bots here. That is, if you buy the “bots needing karma to look legit” or the “needs to gather karma to post in some subs” arguments. I’ve always found those to be very weird as no sub I’ve seen needs several thousand karma to post and most bots still look like bots.

Competition for karma sounds like more of the same problem with bots: lots of low effort posts to rise those numbers

This sounds like the beginning of great tifu post

Sounds very reasonable. Thanks for the post. I personally didn’t think it was a big deal when registering, just slightly odd. Didn’t give it much thought though. Unfortunately bots and trolls are constant problems to any online community. As Lenny grows, automated tools for moderation and spam prevention will likely be needed to help easy the work on the mods
