I plan to have people type an application to register but will deny creeps and obviously bots. What would be the best questions to ask/way to tell that someone is a creep with ill intentions?

I have some ideas, but I’m looking for more, actual ideas from the Lemmy community. Ex: (if I make it a 13+ instance) What age range do you plan on interacting with? What do you plan on talking about with these people? What do you plan to do here?

    Pre-register the UniversalMonk account and all his sock puppets.

    Not a complete list:

    • UniversalMonk
    • DonaldJMusk
    • Area72
    • realcaseyrollins
    • barrygoldwater

    At the very least this strips them of any notoriety.

      Only one of those is me though. I have nothing to do with those other people. I don’t have any alt names; only alt instances.

      People are totally free to block people on that list if they want to, but has nothing to do with me, friend.

      Your account is only 5 days old. So seems like you have some sort of alt thing going on.
