Seedit has vast moderation and antispam capabilities. It has a fully working mod queue. Every mod has complete control of his own sub and can ban or delete posts at will.
Due to Seedits unique design its impossible to know the ip of a specific seedit user. To combat this we had to create an intermediary platform - Mintpass. Mintpass forces users to verify their email or phone and more challengers are being added as we speak. This ensures they are not a bot and allow mods to track the users post and ban them if they break the rules.
Mods can choose whether to use mintpass or create their own way of dealing with antispam. The possibilities for dealing with antispam are endless. Seedit doesn’t have instances but works on a per subreddit basis so one spammer blocked on one subreddit won’t be blocked on another. However communties can stop this by sharing blocklists. Open source means everything is completely up to the communities and moderators.
What’s MintPass? It wasnt clear how to get a token and Im not entering a ph number.
when running a community, the owner has to configure some anti spam options, like for example it could be a whitelist of him and his friends. if he wants an open community, it gets more complicated, you have to let unknown people post, but also not let unknown people spam, so one of the option is SMS confirmation. eventually we will add more options like social login, confirming ownership of a domain name you own, owning cryptocurrency, etc. it’s a work in progress, but this anti spam mechanism is completely optional and arbitrary, it’s something that each community owner can configure in any way they want. you can even code your own anti spam mechanism or use one someone else coded.
