I miss when things were slower.

Want to know about the Hittites? That's a trip to the library -- encyclopedia volume H. While you're out, maybe your bud tried to call. Best check the answering machine when you get home. Lost? Better pull out that atlas from the car door. Don't mind the mysterious stain.

Having lived it, I understand the urge. We're not built for this.

So, while this user (and their many reincarnations) has really impacted my enjoyment of Lemmy over the last couple of weeks, they do highlight one of the larger shortcomings of the platform. There's nothing stopping an unstable, disturbed, bored person from grinding through accounts. A problem on any platform, for sure. Though folks like this do seem to filter out in the noise of larger projects.

I don't have a solution for this. But I'm nearly to the point of tearing down my own instance.
