Making a new reddit account was trivial to anyone willing to put in a little effort as well. It’s not pointless though because I’m sure it does stop some unmotivated bad actors. Mod tools here definitely leave something to be desired right now however.
But it’s different because if I feel the need to make some flippant violent comment again there are communities hosted elsewhere that won’t take it so seriously. This is a good thing. dot world admins have every right to run their instance and remove content as they wish. Hosting a large instance takes a lot of work.
