With how federation works, they really need Karma so they can set karma requirements

Like, if a troll gets banned from lemmy.world, there’s literally 100+ instances they can go and make an account on to post on lemmy.world again. Takes just a few minutes to get back at it.

There needs to be either a federation wide IP black list, or some kind of bot that notifies instance admins when a flagged IP register somewhere else, maybe even auto bans the new accounts for instances that have them flagged, but they can still post to the rest.

It’s not about stopping 100% of trolls, it’s about making it so inconvenient to get around that trolls get bored with it and troll somewhere else.
