Probation period doesn't sound like a bad idea. But in the end it will just force them to make their bots lay low for the time and then start their main program.
Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.

Banning a username doesn’t solve the problem tho - you can create new accounts anyway. And banning accounts with similar names as well creates all kinds of problems.
Maybe some kind of probation could help? For example, a user could be invisible for everyone but their home instance for some time. If they are then reported and banned, they never appear on another instance to begin with. Could do this for both comments and content.

Lmao that would make even less ppl join this site and make it even less useful, if you think lemmy will ever be as useful as reddit, it cant have ppl on instances post invisible to other instances when they join that will just make them head to the larger instances or be even more confused on where to sign up
