I mean how did it work on Reddit? You banned the abusive users.

That wouldn't work on Lemmy because one can make infinity user names on an instance without CAPTCHAs (or any other throttling).

And even then, Reddit tended to allow a lot of trolling.

I'm pretty sure the complaint is about instances that do have captchas/some kind of verification enabled but still being defederated.

So why doesn't the "offending" server just ban them itself?
