Perhaps this is already implemented on one of the Lemmy variants?
New features :
- auto closing/suspending stale communities
- stale could be defined as unanswered mod reports, no mod activity (no post, comment, login in x time period), no posts
- staggered new account permissions:
- wait 24h before commenting, wait 7 days before posting.
- allow community users to flag posts or comments as NSFW.
- Voting changes from up, down to up, down or NSFW.)
Curious what people think about this?
My response is positive to all the first two ideas, but I’ve seen no need for NSFW voting.
Looks like stale communities are already closed and deleted, at least here on lemmy.world. Popped into a community I ran but set to “no new posts” a few years ago, and all the old posts are gone. Which is OK by me.
I prefer trying to revive dead communities. See if anybody want to be in charge of onr of those dead communities

No. I’ve seen several times people ask the admins if they could take over a community. And it happened. Thus reviving dead communities.

Why?
allow community users to flag posts or comments as NSFW.
This one I like.
Voting changes from up, down to up, down or NSFW.
That’s not how it should be done though. The same menu that you pull out that lets you report things to a mod, instead of reporting to mod, it should let you report as NSFW. If a mod approves the request, it then becomes labeled as NSFW.
What is the point of “staggered new account permissions”?
At most we should be Autofolding/hiding unpopular comments.

I think the issue is putting barriers to legit users even if it prevents some spam will keep us small.
What’s keeping us small (no proof just opinion) is the petty inter instance infighting and the lack of accessible fediverse education for social media adhd minds.
Also we’re growing, but given the times we’re in and how massive a piece of shit u/spez is, one would hope it grew faster.
