I assisted admins, caught and got banned over the past week a user noobda, who created accounts noobde, noobdaREBRN and now noobrao.
A few hours later now, I see 3-4 downvotes on every single comment of mine in the past week, and have gotten repeated death threats in PMs, likely by this very person.
Is an IP address or IP range ban a good solution, that admins should consider implementing besides report option?
I feel incredibly harassed here at Lemmy, though nothing common, where reddit users have abuse reported me to seek suicide prevention helpline, among many things.
Not only that. What is about people behind CG-NAT? or in which the ISP recycle the same set of IPs for several people.
I have saw several situations of a IP change with captcha solving in cloudflare-based websites because user/users who owned it before got reported for abuse.
Good point. I forgot that nowadays dynamic ip addresses are still handed out by ISPs (I am kind of spoiled with a static ip).
