I’m glad I posted about this because clearly it’s an issue that will need to be addressed as Lemmy grows, but luckily it’s not rampant currently. Restricting IP addresses (1 account 1 IP address) is definitely not the best way to go about it, but it’s one way to restrict bad actors from doing bad things. The reality is that verifying whether an individual has 1 account or 500 accounts is very difficult, and most solutions potentially invade someone’s privacy. Finding solutions that allow users to remain anonymous whilst also verifying that they’re an individual with a single account is something extremely difficult. It’s something that’s going to need to be solved over time, manipulating voting is not the only thing that bad actors will do. I hope that sh.itjust.works maintains its level of good fair moderation going forward.
