RE: Ask Me Anything - Marky Edition - October 2024

Censorship is any suppression of information, and disrupting financial mechanisms is one of the primary mechanisms used to effect censorship. It's why Canada seized the bank accounts of people donating to honking truckers, and why that seizure ended the Freedom Convoy.

Anyway, other than DV's there is only resource credits to limit spam and scams, yet you have been very effective in reducing both those harms to the platform for years. Is there some other mechanism you have to discourage them, or has DV'ing them just been that effective?

I don’t think resource credits does jack. It only affects very new users but most spammers it isn’t even an inconvenience.

Downvoting isn’t always effective but it at least protects the reward pool. There are many spammers who persist despite rewards.
