Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.
Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.
Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)
IPs should never be used to moderate, they are shared across too many people. Often multiple neighborhoods will share an IP.
I do not like the idea of using IPs for that either, but since it’s only for the timing instead of locking people out of the service, it’s less of a concern.
And as db0 said IPs are far from optimal but they’re the best thing that “we” [actually the devs] have available. If you have some alternative way to discourage simultaneous multi-accounting, by all means, suggest it here.
Same with people who use VPN per default.
That’s the closest thing we have though. The alternative is just people using alts, and at that point might as well not have limits. There can be ways to add exceptions if needed.
