Can you link to those threads? It’s my opinion that coordinated attacks like that should result in bans. Can you ban users from other instances on your instance?
The problem is that sh.itjust.works has an open-registration policy. So when Beehaw.org banned a user, they just made [email protected] and then [email protected] (etc. etc.) and Beehaw.org kept getting flooded with dick-pic spam.
The underlying question is one of open-registration vs closed-registration. Furthermore, its compounded by the fact that Mastodon-like moderation tools don’t exist yet (Lemmy is much newer), so solutions from Mastodon don’t exist yet.
It sounds like Beehaw.org is pretty confident that Mastodon-like moderation tools will allow them to open back up.
